Support MWF on AusArt Day

Help create the memories that come next

We're thrilled to be taking part in AusArt Day 2026, a national fundraising day supporting the arts in Australia. For 40 years, MWF has been a meeting place for art to be shared, stories to be told and creativity to thrive. Countless connections and special memories have been made through attending MWF events. With your support, we can continue creating a festival that nurtures community, platforms voices and makes unforgettable moments possible. 

This AusArt Day, we’re raising funds to increase the ability MWF has to directly support artists and uplift Victoria's literary community through a range of festival events. Your donation will go directly towards:

• Platforming and paying more artists to share their stories
• Improving literacy for young readers and writers through the MWF Schools Program
• Ensuring access for all audiences through low-cost and free programs

Give today and double your impact!

Thanks to the generous support of Creative Australia, every dollar donated will be matched up to $5,000. Give your gift today to support us in the run-up to AusArt Day, or, save the date and donate on 22 October to join the dedicated giving day. Every gift, big or small, makes a difference and every dollar donated will go towards enabling MWF to support more artists and reach more audiences.
