Thank you very much for your generous donation in support of Gasworks Foundation Inc for the Gasworks Foundation Annual Giving Appeal
We write to you to introduce the work of the Gasworks Patrons and Friends Foundation.
Over the years, thanks to its donors, the Foundation has generously supported the life of the Gasworks Park and contributed to the enhancement of its fabric, helping the park grow and flourish as an asset, owned by the community, providing a place of refreshment, stimulus and the encounter with art and its creators.
We’re pleased to share some of the recent projects and programs our donors have helped make possible:
ANTS by Polyglot Theatre
Presented as part of our new outdoor event series, Create & Connect, this interactive performance was designed to engage children in imaginative exploration of the world around them. Featuring performers as giant ants moving through public spaces with oversized breadcrumbs, ANTS invited children to observe, join in, and help shape the evolving performance. Through sound, movement and playful interaction, participants created patterns and stories that transformed everyday spaces into sites of wonder and creativity. The event took place on 14 September 2024.
Concerts In the Park
Running from November 2024 to January 2025 beneath the trees of The Glade, this free outdoor music program featured a diverse lineup of acclaimed performers, including soprano Antoinette Halloran, music theatre artists Genevieve Kingsford and Kiran Rajasingam, cabaret star Ali McGregor, and indie icon Angie Hart. These relaxed, open-air concerts brought exceptional live music to local audiences and encouraged community connection through the arts.
The Queer Playwriting Award Showcase (QPAS)
Presented in partnership with Midsumma Festival, QPAS continues to celebrate emerging LGBTQIA+ voices in theatre. In 2024, the award was jointly granted to Tom Ballard and Linsted & Davies for their outstanding new works. Tom Ballard’s The Queer Kingdom was presented as a sold-out script reading, while Linsted & Davies staged a full production of Day for It as part of Midsumma Festival 2025. The Foundation proudly supported the development and presentation of both works.
Gasworks – Behind the Scenes
This video series highlights the creative processes and personal stories behind Gasworks. These short films will be published on YouTube and adapted by our in-house team for social media and website use, broadening their reach and impact.
