Help power Geelong’s creative future on AusArt Day!

 

AusArt Day is a new initiative designed to support artists and arts organisations to fundraise on one national day!

With your generous support, we can open doors to unforgettable creative experiences.

Your tax-deductible donation helps Geelong Arts Centre support:

  • Gift-a-Ticket program: extending the opportunity to make live theatre accessible to students, regardless of their circumstances.
  • The Church restoration: building a new home to nurture emerging musicians and diverse voices.
  • Artist professional development programs, empowering the creation of new original works.


Together, we’re not just supporting the arts, we’re shaping a vibrant, creative future and lasting legacy for all.

Why you should support

“As a school with an ICSEA score of 877 (7th percentile nationally) with over 70% of our families in the bottom socio-economic quartile, the support and benefits provided by Geelong Arts Centre is something that we could never have the opportunities without. 

From live shows, First Nations programs, drama related workshops and more, over the past 12 months, the Geelong Arts Centre has been huge supporters of schools in the 3214, ensuring our students receive opportunities alongside other schools. This kind of rich, hands-on learning is invaluable, yet often out of reach for our families due to financial barriers. Some of our students most treasured memories involve the Geelong Arts Centre.”

Donor Testimonials

Our seat is named in honour of our parents – Bill Mithen (who died in 1984) and Sue Mithen (nee Aiton) who actually met in the old GAMA (Geelong Association of Music and Art) Theatre, which is now Geelong Arts Centre’s ‘Church’ space... It was very fitting for us to name a seat in their honour.

As a committed supporter to the Church Giving Campaign, I’m excited to see this vision come to fruition. I encourage others to pledge their support to ensure Geelong Arts Centre reaches its fundraising goals for this much-needed home for emerging local musicians and performers.
