Forest Collective

Forest Collective is a visionary non-profit artistic company based in Naarm-Melbourne. Forest Collective passionately advocates for diversity and artistic freedom in contemporary classical music, dance, and collaborative projects. 

Our mission is centred on commissioning and presenting a kaleidoscope of art forms. We nurture and provide a platform for under-represented artists and the artistically vulnerable to create in a safe space.

Led by the guiding hand of composer and conductor Evan J Lawson, Forest Collective is a dynamic force, orchestrated by a dedicated team of creative practitioners. We are committed to fostering connections within our artistic community, embracing a multi-disciplinary approach that distills the essence of our elevator pitch: artists who engage with cross art-form collaborations, creating authentic and unexpected experiences.
