Support

Art matters. Art brings us together and encourages us to look afresh at the world. Carriageworks is a Not-for-profit organisation based on the values of diversity, collaboration and inclusion. Your generosity enables us to support artists to develop bold new works and provide cultural experiences for everyone.

With great sadness Carriageworks Board of Directors announced the appointment of Voluntary Administrators, KPMG. Read the official statement here. The Carriageworks team very much hope to re-emerge on the other side of this pandemic crisis and will be exploring all options. Thank you to everyone in the community for the outpouring of support. During the period of voluntary administration, Carriageworks is unable to accept donations.

Solid Ground  is a major initiative from Carriageworks and Blacktown Arts, providing education, training and employment pathways for Indigenous Australian youth. In 2020 Solid Ground will place Indigenous artists-in-residence in Sydney schools; expand the Creative Arts Camp to include students from regional NSW; and continue to facilitate paid internships.
