Intro
AusArt Day, taking place on 23 October, invites all Australians to show their support for artists and arts organisations by making a donation — large or small — to their chosen arts organisation or artist on one national day of giving.
From planning for a DJ livestream to a First Nations choir and a coffee cabaret, registered participants of the inaugural AusArt Day are preparing innovative campaigns that will raise important funds and awareness of the contribution that arts and creativity make to our communities.
Artists and organisations can join AusArt Day by signing up with Creative Australia before 3pm (AEST) on 25 September 2025.
