Daniel Potter

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I rise to recognise Daniel Potter, the chief executive of the youth arts organisation 'Shopfront Arts Co-Op' in Carlton. In his role over the last eight years, he has made enormous contributions to our community. Shopfront Arts Co-Op is the largest youth-led arts organisation in southern Sydney and the second largest in NSW. They have a rich history of delivering innovative, inclusive programs across theatre, visual arts, dance and singing, whilst participating in youth-led engagement. These programs have provided young people with opportunities to connect with and explore the arts, fostering creativity and breaking down barriers related to ability, perceived skill or social circumstance. During Daniel's time as chief executive, Shopfront has experienced an era of significant change. Their premise at Cartlon has seen significant upgrades, transforming it into a multi-purpose arts facility that boasts additional performance and rehearsal spaces, as well as outdoor entertainment areas. Shopfront's facility also acts as a business hub hosting arts and community organisations. I would like to thank Daniel for the wonderful things he has done for our community and wish him well for his endeavours in the future.
