Set against the backdrop of South Australia’s leading arts precinct, the event brought together passionate patrons for an intimate performance and insightful Q&A with acclaimed performer and composer Gillian Cosgriff. Guests were treated to selections from her new musical, The Fig Tree, joined on stage by Virginia Gay, Artistic Director of the Adelaide Cabaret Festival.
Adding to the occasion, donors engaged in a candid conversation with Douglas Gautier AM, the Foundation’s outgoing CEO and Artistic Director, alongside Miranda Starke, Chair of the Foundation Board. Together, they reflected on the impact of philanthropic support in shaping South Australia’s creative future.
Proceeds from the Artistic Director’s Fund directly support the next generation of talent, investing in emerging artists, youth programs, new works, and initiatives that make the arts more accessible to all.
