AusArt Day 2025
Help Us Keep Dance Alive
Against all odds, the Company has thrived. We’ve built an epicentre for creativity in the North and magnetised artists from across the world to dream and create amidst our rocky, sun-drenched landscape.
But we do not create art for art’s sake.
We create to connect. We create to heal. We create to understand, to enquire, to express, to explore, to be together in moments of shared joy and grief.
We create because it’s the only way to truly feel alive. And don’t we all want to feel more alive?

The future of Australia’s Arts sector relies on a significant cultural shift to increase Arts philanthropy. Arts Giving is an investment in Australia’s future – not only in our shared cultural and creative identities, but in social impact across many areas including health and wellbeing, education and child development social cohesion, and community resilience.
Led by Creative Australia, AusArt Day is a new initiative in 2025, that will support artists and Arts organisations to increase awareness and action among new and existing donors across the country.
The inaugural AusArt Day will take place on Thursday, 23 October 2025. For more information about AusArt Day, visit Creative Australia’s website.
