CREATIVE AUSTRALIA GIVING DAY TO THE ARTS 2025 | CONSTANCE ARI - SUPPORT MATERIAL

We are working to embed fundraising into our programming schedule, and to have a supported opportunity to do this through the Giving Day to the Arts is an incredible opportunity for us. We have also recently elected a Marketing and Fundraising Officer. This is a critical moment for Constance as a small organisation in Nipaluna/Hobart gradually expanding our reach, practices, and the community we continue to work for.

We plan to launch our Giving Day to the Arts fundraising campaign in combination with the physical launch of our Constance archive – celebrating over 20 years of supporting emerging artists and experimental practice in Lutruwita/Tasmania, with 2025 marking 10 years of operating in our off-site model.

The launch of archive and new website – and our new DGR charity-status, means it will be easier than every for people to donate to Constance and to support emerging artists.
