Our Patrons Make it Happen

Philanthropic leadership is vital to the Festival’s creative and economic strength. We seek financial support from individuals and businesses through their membership of our Patrons’ Circle to support art and artists and to support the presentation of productions and exhibitions to the highest standard. This support also enables the fostering of direct access to critical and creative debates and to building recognition for the artistic contributions of Noosa.

Due to the generosity of our Patrons, the Festival is able to make the critically acclaimed work of today’s artists and commentators available to the broadest range of people. Support goes directly to the Festival’s ability to provide a combination of high quality and culturally inclusive programming.

NOOSA alive! gratefully acknowledges the generous support received from our Patrons.
