You are the Heart of the Arts.

You, our incredible supporters, are the lifeblood of Adelaide Festival Centre. Your passion and commitment are what make this place a beating heart of the arts, and for that, we can’t thank you enough. 

Our Heart of the Arts regular giving program makes it simple for you to continue your support in a way that's both meaningful and sustainable. By setting up a recurring gift, you provide the ongoing support that allows us to plan for the future with confidence, ensuring we can bring long-term arts programs and projects to life. 

It gives me great joy to support the arts in South Australia. It helps me feel part of a positive social contribution. I am content in the knowledge that there are a great many individuals who, as a collective, make a difference even though their individual contributions are modest in nature.

— Peter Emmerton, Heart of the Arts Regular Donor

How your regular gift makes a difference

Your contributions, no matter the amount, add up to significant change. They allow us to create opportunities for every South Australian to experience the enriching and transformative power of the arts. Your regular donation helps us to: 

  • Remove barriers for students, so more children can attend performances. 
  • Fund the artists of tomorrow through scholarships and development programs for emerging artists and arts workers. 

It is good knowing your money is actually being used for the right purpose. My contributions are not significant, but I just hope it means some child gets a chance to attend, at least making a small contribution may help someone get real enjoyment.

— Barbie Chiro, Heart of the Arts Regular Donor

By making a regular contribution, you are helping to build a sustainable future for the arts in South Australia, ensuring a vibrant and inclusive arts community for the next 50 years and beyond. 

We know life happens, and priorities can change. If you ever need to, you can cancel or change your regular gift at any time.
