PATRONS CIRCLE

Melbourne International Arts Festival donors make up our Patrons Circle. These philanthropic leaders are passionate supporters of the Festival who offer essential economic and community support for our artists.

Patrons enable the Festival to host the best local and international contemporary artists at full strength, and have unique opportunities to interact with some of the world’s foremost contemporary arts practitioners from the best seats in the house.

Due to the tax-deductible donations of our Patrons, the Melbourne Festival can make the critically acclaimed work of extraordinary artists available to the broadest range of people with low ticket prices, free events and discounts for local and independent artists, students and disability groups.

Patrons receive priority seating and a personalised ticketing service, acknowledgement in Melbourne Festival publications and the opportunity to share unique experiences with artists at our Artist Suppers and Opening Party. There are several levels of donation to choose from.

Our Patrons Circle for 2008 is coming together soon. If you would like information on how to join the circle please contact Gabrielle Connellan, Philanthropy Executive, by email g.connellan@melbournefestival.com.au
