For half a century, the HC Coombs Creative Arts Fellowship has helped ANU establish itself as an international hub for artists, writers, composers, musicians and visitors from all types of creative arenas. The Fellowship connects practising leaders in their fields to ANU students and researchers, creating two-way access to new ways of thinking and creating.

Join us for a cocktail reception as we celebrate 50 years of the Fellowship and its impact on ANU.
