History

John Paxinos served as the Manager of the Murray River Performing Group from 1979 to 1985. The MRPG has now evolved into two major Arts organisations, “Hothouse Theatre” and “The Flying Fruit Fly Circus”.

He left at the end of 1985 in order to accept an offer of funding from Arts Victoria and the Australia Council to undertake full time study towards an MBA at Monash University. The intent of the funding was two-fold. Firstly to research and develop case studies into a broad array of arts organisations and secondly to return to the field and work on building artistically vibrant and financially robust companies.

In 1987 John Paxinos and Associates Pty Ltd commenced trading by offering, financial, management and consulting services to Arts Organisations. Since then the company has worked for a wide array of arts organisations including many in the performing arts sector. It has grown steadily and currently employs eight staff.

We are proud of the fact that we have continued to work exclusively for arts organisations and that many of the companies we have worked with have a long history of success.
