Important News
You may have seen recent media coverage about the outcomes of Creative Victoria’s Creative Enterprises four-year organisational funding round. Rawcus, like a number of our fellow small arts organisations, has been offered two-year operational funding, which will conclude at the end of December 2027.
While we had hoped for four years of operational support our Board and staff are actively exploring new funding opportunities and continue our ongoing work to diversify Rawcus income streams. What remains unchanged is our commitment to supporting our extraordinary Ensemble, creating and presenting exceptional, accessible and inclusive work, engaging and collaborating with independent artists, and offering meaningful and equitable arts experiences for our diverse audiences.
We’re excited about our 2026 program which is full of bold and wonderful projects, and we look forward to sharing these with you throughout the year. As we celebrate our 26th year, the Ensemble is excited and eager to develop and present a major new work for 2027.
Rawcus has never relied solely on one income stream and the generosity of our community through donations has always played a key role. We are so grateful to you. Right now, your support matters more than ever. As the end of the financial year approaches, we warmly invite you to consider making a tax-deductible donation.
