TarraWarra Donations
Description
✨ Every artwork begins with an act of belief.
This AusArt Day, we're inviting our community to help bring these new works to life.
Before an artwork is exhibited, collected or celebrated, it starts with a spark of curiosity, an intuitive gesture, or an idea not yet fully formed. Artists take a leap into the unknown, trusting instinct, experimentation and imagination to guide their creative journey.
From 31 July to 14 November 2027, TarraWarra Museum of Art will present the landmark 10th edition of the TarraWarra Biennial, This Hand of Mine, curated by Dr Mikala Tai.
Exploring the influence of superstition, ritual, intuition and belief, the Biennial will feature ambitious new commissions by leading contemporary Australian artists, transforming the Museum into a space for discovery, reflection and wonder.
Your donation will directly support artists to experiment, take creative risks and realise projects that may not be possible without philanthropic support. In doing so, you'll help continue a Biennial legacy that has championed more than 200 Australian artists across two decades.
What magic can you make happen?
✨ $50 supports creative development
🎨 $150 supports artist materials

Turn belief into action. Support Australian artists and help shape what comes next.
