The Artists’ Picnic is free to all. We invite those who can, to make a voluntary donation which will contribute to the commissioning of an archival showcase and publication that will tell the stories of dance and discovery that have emerged during Critical Path’s 20 years. With combined support from you, our dance-loving community, we aim to secure enough funding for this commission to be launched in November 2025.

Your donation will directly support the fees of the artists involved and your generosity will be acknowledged in the credits - no gift is too small!!

This event is proudly supported by Woollahra Council.

Critical Path respectfully acknowledges the Gadigal and Birrabirragal peoples of the Eora Nation, the traditional owners of the land where the organisation is based.
