Develop First Nations performing arts programmers.
AusArt Day is a nationwide fundraising movement uniting artists and arts organisations to raise funds for their work on a single, powerful day. Every donation, whoever you choose to support, can have an extraordinary impact. Make a statement about the value of the arts and get behind AusArt Day in 2026.
For our AusArt Day we are fundraising for Australia’s only First Nations Presenter Training Program, a unique national program focused on connection, shared knowledge, professional development and building strong networks for First Nations arts workers.
Emerging from an identified need to build capacity for more First Nations programmers and presenters within the live performance sector, it will be designed and delivered by respected arts leader Angela Flynn.
With 5 years’ experience delivering national training to more than 320 presenters and producers nationally, PAC Australia will partner with Angela to develop this focused training program from 2027.
The program will support First Nations producers, artists and arts workers to program, host and build audiences, and navigate presenting organisations with skill and confidence.
In 2027, we want to launch this program for the first time and we need your help to make it happen.
We have already raised $5,000. Now let’s match it; our goal is to raise $5,000 on AusArts Day. Every dollar will help us build networks and pathways for First Nations arts workers for a strong, culturally safe, and self-determined live performance sector.
