AusArt Day is a national initiative designed to support and enable a collective action by artists and arts organisations to fundraise on one national day – increasing the visibility of arts philanthropy and encouraging greater generosity in support of the arts.

It aims to elevate the public value of the arts in the consciousness of everyday Australians and increase donor engagement in support of Australian creativity.

AusArt Day leverages our critical mass to deliver a national sector-led time-sensitive campaign, inclusive of many independent yet clearly defined cases for support, to show our collective appreciation for those who bring creativity into our lives. The day is proposed as a nationwide fundraising opportunity – a collective movement - designed to mobilise artists and arts organisations to raise funds on a single, powerful day.

Throughout the whole day we will have activities in our centre. We will run a Paintathon in our beloved Print Room, and have activities with Gather and Grow, local produce, amazing food, as well as other surprises.

Stay tuned for the whole program coming up in this space soon!
