About the event
We’re rallying support to bring the Midsumma FUTURES Program back for 2027 and beyond! 💛
Our nine-month development and mentoring program supports early-career LGBTQIA+ artists and culture-makers to build networks, develop their practice and take their next creative steps, completely free for participants.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 through GiveOUT Day to propel the next generation of queer creativity and make sure emerging artists have the opportunities they deserve.
GiveOUT Day is Thursday 15 October, and early donations can be matched dollar for dollar! Help us create space for the next generation of LGBTQIA+ artists to grow, experiment and thrive.
💛 If you can, support the campaign here: giveoutday.org.au/o/midsumma-festival-inc
