Preserving and sharing our cultural heritage
The magic of the performing arts is sparked for audiences by the bold costumes, captivating props, dramatic sets and stimulating musical scores. These elements of the performance are so much more than just a supporting role for the action on stage.
The Australian Performing Arts Collection is a vital and significant archive of our nation’s heritage as it preserves, protects, builds and provides access to our cultural history across dance, opera, theatre, circus and music performances.
When you donate to ‘The Australian Performing Arts Collection’ your generosity enables us to not only acquire treasured items, but also supports the long-term preservation, protection of over 730,000 items and access to make projects such as Grand possible.
When you donate to the Australian Performing Arts Collection, you are helping in three important ways.
Your donation of $25 will help fund the Acquisition of items of cultural and historical importance
Your donation of $75 will help fund the Preservation and Storage of these items to keep them safe for generations to come
Your donation of $250 will enable us to document, digitise, develop and showcase new content through physical and digital state of the art exhibitions such as Grand
