Four Winds chairman Michael Darling says he, the board and FW team are thrilled to have secured someone of Leigh's calibre and experience to lead the organisation in its next phase of evolution.
"Leigh is one of the most experienced arts administrators in the country, having run Sydney Film Festival and Sydney Dance Company, and previously worked in executive roles at the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Theatre Company and Belvoir St Theatre," said Mr Darling.
"She is a Dignam's Creek resident with a great love of the NSW Sapphire Coast, and comes brimming with ideas on how to take Four Winds into a new phase."
Ms Small says, "There is so much potential to grow events and audiences in regional Australia. Four Winds has done an incredible job in this score and I look forward to exploring possibilities for embedding Four Winds even more deeply in its local community, enriching its audiences and working with partners new and existing to take it strongly into its next phase.”
