Help Us Keep Kindness in the Room

At The Farm, we believe art can bring people together.

For over twenty years, we've created performances, gatherings and experiences that invite people to connect, imagine, question and care. We support artists to take creative risks, collaborate generously and create work that encourages empathy and understanding.

But meaningful art doesn't happen on its own.

Behind every performance is a community of people who believe in creativity, connection and the value of investing in culture. As funding environments become increasingly competitive and the costs of creating and touring work continue to rise, philanthropic support plays a vital role in ensuring The Farm can remain ambitious, independent and artist-led.

That's where the Barn Raisers come in.

Historically, a barn raising was a community effort—people coming together to build something that would benefit everyone. The Farm's Barn Raisers are a circle of supporters who help us build the future of the company and sustain the work we make.

By becoming a Barn Raiser, you're helping us:

• Develop bold new artistic projects and performances 
• Support artists with fair opportunities and creative development 
• Bring work to regional communities and audiences across Australia and internationally 
• Invest in experimentation, collaboration and artistic risk-taking 
• Create spaces where connection, curiosity and compassion can thrive 

Most importantly, you're helping ensure The Farm remains a place where people matter and where kindness, generosity and care sit at the centre of everything we do.

Why Join the Barn Raisers?

As a Barn Raiser, you'll become part of The Farm's extended creative family.

You'll receive:

• Exclusive updates from behind the scenes 
• Insights into the development of new works and creative projects 
• Invitations to special events, studio sharings and conversations where possible 
• Early news about upcoming productions, tours and opportunities

You'll gain a deeper understanding of how a contemporary arts company creates, experiments and evolves—and the impact your support makes along the way.

Your Impact

Every contribution strengthens The Farm's ability to create meaningful artistic experiences and support artists to do their best work.

Whether you're helping fund the first spark of a new idea, supporting artists in the rehearsal room, or enabling a performance to reach a new community, your generosity directly contributes to a more connected, compassionate and creative future.

Together, we can continue making art that invites people to gather, listen, laugh, imagine and understand one another a little better.
