Our sector is dynamic and touches all aspects of our communities, from the centrality of arts and culture to Australia’s identity, social unity and economic prosperity.
Cultural participation is also increasingly understood as foundational to wellbeing and education – enabling connection, self-expression and the development of 21st century skills – yet when competing against charitable causes in mainstream Australia, philanthropy in support of the arts lacks a perception of need or urgency.
97% of all Australians engage in the arts and 84% of us recognise the positive individual and broader social impacts of creative engagement.
Join us to make a better Australia and support the wonderful creative Australian talent who inspire, educate and innovate our nation.

We respect their deep enduring connection to their lands, waterways, and surrounding clan groups since time immemorial. We cherish the richness of First Nations peoples’ artistic and cultural expressions. We are privileged to gather on this Country and to share knowledge, culture and art, now and with future generations.
