Help us bring the Festival to more young South Australians

Celebrating our 60th year allows us to look back at the history of the Adelaide Festival and to reflect on what it has meant to so many since it began in 1960.

Throughout the last 60 years, generations of Festival audiences and young artists have had their passion for the arts ignited and nurtured. This speaks to the heart of the organisation and our mission to “thrill, inspire, challenge and delight audiences.” We want this to continue for many years to come.

Help us in our aim to pass this legacy and love of the arts to future generations by supporting our End-of-Financial-Year Campaign. Your donation will create opportunities for students to embark on an enriching life-long journey with the Festival and the arts.

Your support will help ensure young people have the opportunity to experience the joy, enrichment and inspiration the Festival provides, starting a life-long journey of engagement with the power of creative expression.

Your gift will contribute to:

  • Enabling 1000 disadvantaged students to attend a Festival performance at no cost and another 3,000 at just $20 per ticket;
  • Building pathways for young people to participate in the arts and share its social and personal benefits;
  • Creating a meaningful cultural experiences of the highest artistic quality that will stimulate creative thinking and engagement with ideas.

We thank you for your generosity.
