Sarah McEwan is an artist, musician and artist‑curator who lives and works between Sandigo, within the Wiradjuri Nation, and in Sydney, within the Eora Nation. She likes to time‑travel through the past in order to learn from what has happened before and to understand, navigate and create the world she wants and needs in the present and the future. In the spirit of ethically engaged practices, she values community, collaboration, gentleness and embracing differences.

Sarah is the Creative Producer of the artist-led organisation the Cad Factory. She has been working and volunteering at the Cad Factory since 2006.

Sarah makes artworks in a variety of ways, from large scale socially engaged, site-specific, performative installations with many people involved, to solo gallery exhibitions exploring her non-representational and installation practices.

In 2016, Sarah was awarded a Create NSW Regional Fellowship where she undertook residencies at Duke University USA (2017), Women’s Center for Creative Work USA (2018) and Bundanon Trust (2018).

As an advocate for an inclusive art world, Sarah collaborated with Leanne Dyer and Riverina Community College to establish a supported studio in Wagga Wagga that has been running since 2016.

As a musician, Sarah has played drums in bands for over 15 years and toured through Australia, Europe and China, having released music independently and through the labels Half a Cow and Laughing Outlaw.​
