AusArts Day 2026

Be part of Belloo’s next decade.

Invest in untold stories, mentorship, intercultural exchange and community connection — and make contemporary theatre possible.

For 13 years, Belloo has created bold Australian performance that has won awards, made audiences cry from both laughter & heartbreak, motivated them to write to politicians demanding change for refugees, brought stories rarely seen on Australian stages out of the shadows, collaborated with renowned & avant-garde Japanese artists & companies, and mentored emerging artists. Through it all, we’ve held our relationships with artists, communities & collaborators close to our hearts.

Making Theatre Possible is about investing in the people, relationships & opportunities that make this work possible — and carrying them into Belloo’s next decade.

This AusArt Day on 22 October, we’re raising $5,000 to support four foundations of Belloo’s work: untold stories, mentorship, intercultural exchange and community connection.

Donations support the people, development time, travel, technology and community activity needed to deepen our work, invest beyond the needs of a single production, and give Belloo greater freedom to respond when a new story, artist, partnership or community opportunity emerges.

Two Simple Ways to Support Belloo

Making theatre is a privilege, and we're incredibly grateful for the artists, audiences and supporters who make Belloo possible.

While we receive funding, it rarely covers everything needed to create and tour new work. Every production takes years to develop, and it's often the behind-the-scenes costs that are the hardest to fund.

If you'd like to support Belloo, there are two simple ways to help.

People First Community Lottery

Support Belloo by purchasing a $2 People First Community Lottery ticket.

The lottery has helped raise more than $22 million for community organisations across Australia since 1984. Tickets are just $2, with more than $300,000 in prizes to be won, including new hybrid cars and a Northern Lights cruise.
