BOOST 2026 Campaign
The Illawarra Moving Arts Hub is home to AUSTI. Dance & Physical Theatre, a small not for profit organistion bringing artists, First Nations people, and community together through movement and creativity.
We invite you to join us in creating a space where movement-based community and education programs are accessible to all.
The campaign has been made possible with the support of the Australian Cultural Fund and Creative Australia. ACF Boost is a matched funding program designed to enable independent artists and small groups or arts organisations using the ACF to leverage private sector support through a matched funding ‘boost’.
Every dollar raised through this ACF project will be matched with a funding BOOST (up to $5,000) from Creative Australia, doubling your impact.
We’re raising funds to deliver inclusive, community and professional programs to support artistic development and growth;
First Nations-led educational workshops
Boys-only Pilot Program
Skills development for emerging and professional artists
Artist residencies
Community outreach and open classes for youth and adults across the Illawarra, the South Coast and Sydney
Your support will help pay artists, expand access, and create safe, inclusive spaces that strengthen wellbeing and cultural connection across our region.
