Meet Tia Mavanie, who completed our Anti-Racism & The Arts Masterclass:

“I thought the Masterclass was excellent! I felt safe and accepted. It’s extremely healing to be amongst other creative people of colour that ‘get’ racism in Australia and are willing to talk about it”

They're among artists we're training to deliver Campaign Talks—one-hour presentations on anti-racism in creative workplaces, delivered to organisations across Australia.

Your donation funds these talks. It funds masterclasses. It funds the artists who are leading this work.

The Anti-Racism & The Arts campaign isn't about awareness. It's about action.

It's about training artists who can walk into organisations and say: here's what equitable hiring looks like. Here's how we shift power. Here's how we make space for culturally and racially marginalised creatives.
It's about removing barriers—through bursaries, through paying artists what they're worth.

This EOFY, we're taking that work nationwide. But we can't do it without you.
