Melbourne International Arts Festival

Melbourne Festival is Australia's most critically recognised festival for the presentation of contemporary arts. Each October the Festival brings to Melbourne an unparalleled feast of dance, theatre, music, visual arts, multimedia and outdoor events from renowned and upcoming Australian and international companies and artists. 

As a not for profit organisation Melbourne Festival seeks philanthropic support in order to continually present the best possible program. Donations to the Festival are directed towards presenting artists and productions of the highest calibre; towards fostering unique collaborations between Australian and international artists; to providing an international platform for Australia's best home grown productions and to presenting groundbreaking, free, low-cost programming with discounts and easier access for families, students, people with disabilities and local independent artists.
