Bio
Nicky Hansen
Ryan is hilarious. A performer. A public speaking bombshell. He cares deeply about creative industries and works tirelessly to mentor teams, build industry capacity and keep the dreams alive. His 30 years of experience and knowledge of the mechanism of government make him an important member of the creative community in WA and nationally, and he is generous in sharing that knowledge and facilitating stronger relationships across the sector.
Natalie Maloy
Ryan is an extremely knowledgeable arts worker who tirelessly advocates for the arts as an industry and for individual arts workers. He is a terrific mentor to all in the WA Arts industry and is always happy to answer questions from anyone of at any level of their career. He has helped me many times over the years and made me feel extremely welcomed into the CircuitWest community. The Australian Arts Industry would be a different landscape without him.
