Support from Patrons for over 30 years has been vital in establishing our city as Australia’s vibrant cultural capital.
Patrons are at the very heart of what we do, and their gifts empower us to create, collaborate, commission and present exceptional art from around the globe to stimulate, provoke and delight Melbourne audiences.
Patrons help us engage top international talent, multiplying the Festival’s impact through nurturing and inspiring our local creative community. Shows that could not have been presented without the support of Patrons Circle donations bear this logo.
