Give To Illuminate Adelaide
Help Illuminate Shine Brighter
Illuminate Adelaide exists because of a belief in the power of art, light, music, and technology to bring people together and transform our city.
Each winter, we bring bold new ideas, ambitious artists, and extraordinary experiences into Adelaide’s public spaces - with much of our program free and accessible to everyone.
Your support helps us keep Adelaide illuminated, inspired, and connected.
Whether you would simply like to make a one-off donation, or become more closely connected to Illuminate through our giving initiative, Illuminate Adelaide Lightkeepers, there are many ways to help us shine a brighter light.
Make a Difference
Every donation makes a difference
A donation, big or small, helps Illuminate Adelaide continue to grow and ensures culture remains open and accessible to all.
Your support helps us:
Support artists from South Australia and around the world – commissioning ambitious new work through our City Lights program
Keep culture accessible and free – bringing installations, interactive experiences, and city-wide light displays to public spaces for everyone to enjoy
Invest in emerging creatives – supporting new ideas through mentorship, collaboration, and paid opportunities for South Australian creatives
Champion inclusion and accessibility – help grow our evolving accessibility and inclusion program to help support programming with no barriers, from sensory spaces, Auslan tours, relaxed sessions, and dedicated seniors’ programs so everyone can be part of Illuminate
Create meaningful community impact – each year we work with a select number of charities and not for profits to make a meaningful impact
Boost the local economy – bringing vibrancy to Adelaide’s streets, hospitality venues, retail, and businesses during the winter season
