August 1st, 2025Fellowship for Adam

Hepburn Springs resident Adam Fawcett has been awarded the 2025 Kerri Hall Fellowship for Performing Arts at State Library Victoria.
Adam plans to spend the next year researching the history of performing arts across regional Victoria, with plans to create scripts for an audio drama series and podcast.
As part of the fellowship, Adam will receive $15,000 in funding, one-on-one support by a specialist librarian and an office in the library’s dome annulus for one year.

Adam is interested in uncovering the lost stories of performing artists whose contributions shaped regional contemporary life, and also the importance of community spaces dedicated to arts and theatre.
The Kerri Hall Fellowship for Arts is held in honour of State Library Victoria librarian Kerri Hall, who grew up in regional Victoria and cared for the library’s performing arts collection, including theatre bills, programs, photos and other manuscripts and ephemera.
Adam is an accomplished playwright, producer and screenwriter who lives and works in Hepburn Springs on Dja Dja Wurrung Country.
