Endow a seat, proclaim your passion for the arts and in turn your donation will help stimulate young people's curiosity about the performing arts through our Education Program.

You can endow a seat for yourself, or as a gift for someone - to celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, a wedding, the birth of a child, or to remember a cherished moment, a significant event or for a loved one. What a unique way to express a sentiment and proclaim your passion for the arts.

State Theatre and Hamer Hall $1,000 per seat
Playhouse and Fairfax Studio $800 per seat

Your tax deductible donation will, in turn, contribute to our Education Program, which offers a broad range of performing arts activities to students and their teachers across the whole of Victoria. Since its inception, our Education Program has hosted over one million students from throughout the state. During the year 143,000 students attended education events, either at the Arts Centre or by attending Arts Centre touring programs around Victoria.

As a valued supporter, your name will be acknowledged as an Arts Centre supporter in our Annual Report and on our website. As a memento and record of your much appreciated endowment you will also receive a certificate to mark the occasion.
