Arts Angels Logo The Angels program is a unique philanthropic endeavour that has significantly increased private sector and individual support for the Centre. Since its inception in March 1994 support from the Arts Angels, Benefactor Angels, Angels, Patrons and Associates have provided valuable funds to mount exhibitions, produce free and low cost programming, fund new productions and attract major shows.


For further information on donations please contact Philanthropy on (03) 9281 8278 or e-mail philanthropy@theartscentre.com.au.
