Boomerang Nick Dunstone and his social enterprise 'Light' - a home for innovation, creativity and hospitality

In this episode we speak to Nick Dunstone who is the co-founder of Light.Nick returned to Adelaide in 2018 with his partner Sophie and their four children after 20 years abroad.Nick is a lawyer and corporate restructuring professional. He has been a partner of 2 leading international law firms, and for the last 10 years has been a partner in an investment fund based in Hong Kong that specialises in corporate restructuring. The international travel embargo resulting from Covid meant that Nick and Sophie were able to focus on a new creative philanthropic opportunity in South Australia that is transformative to Australia’s performing arts culture which will pave the way for emerging creatives to engage with a new performance canvas.Nick and Sophie have directed significant capital to establish Light Cultural Foundation to provide artists and tech creatives with the opportunity to harness immersive technologies to connect with audiences in new and meaningful ways. To house Light’s cultural and hospitality activities, they purchased and restored a four-storey heritage building at Light Square in the Adelaide CBD in July 2020. In 2021 Nick and Sophie were awarded the Emerging Philanthropy Leadership Award presented by Creative Partnership Australia.Light Social Channels https://www.instagram.com/light_adl/https://www.linkedin.com/company/light-adl/https://www.facebook.com/lightadl
