Creative Australia's AusArt Day is a nationwide, sector-wide fundraising initiative designed to mobilise artists and arts organisations to raise funds for their work and creative ambitions on a single, powerful day. This unified call to action aims to amplify the visibility of arts philanthropy and inspire greater generosity across the country.   

​

This inaugural event is more than a fundraiser - it's a national public movement that celebrates and elevates the role of the arts in Australian life.  

​

It will take place for the first time on Thursday 23 October 2025.  

​

This program recognises the vital role that the arts play in our communities  and champions artists and organisations dedicated to creative expression.  

​

This new program is an invitation for everyone to give back in a way that directly impacts the future of arts and creativity. It’s not just about financial contributions - it’s also about sharing and recognising the incredible work of artists, educators, performers, and creators who enrich our world every day.
