AusArt Day 2026
Make Art Happen
At Dancenorth we know that making art is about so much more than making entertainment.
Art makes meaning in a world that doesn't always make sense.
Art makes opportunity for new voices to be heard.
Art makes community.
Art makes place.
Art makes joy.
In short, Art makes for a well-lived life.
And isn't that worth investing in?
One Donation, Three Programs.
When you give to Dancenorth, you support us to:
1. Make and tour exciting new work from the heart of regional North Queensland
2. Support independent artists to find their voice, hone their practice and stay curious; and
3. Connect the community to dance, themselves and each other.
On 22 October, Dancenorth Australia will join our Arts peers from across the Country to raise a culture of Arts Giving for AusArt Day. You can help us by making a tax-deductible donation, which will empower us to continue making art happen across regional North Queensland and beyond.
About AusArt Day
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 aims to support artists and Arts organisations to increase awareness and action among new and existing donors across the country.
AusArt Day will take place on Thursday, 22 October 2026. For more information about AusArt Day, visit Creative Australia’s website.
