Despite Bendigo’s rich cultural heritage, wonderful theatres and performing arts groups, funding constraints and fewer opportunities in regional Australia hinder the growth and vibrancy of the performing arts. The Ulumbarra Foundation is on a mission to overcome this barrier!

Named to recognise Bendigo’s new world-class Ulumbarra Theatre, the Foundation launched its Founding 50 campaign in 2016 to create vital opportunities for Greater Bendigo’s performing arts community and audiences.

As we celebrate the Ulumbarra Theatre’s 10th Anniversary in 2025, we need to scale up support for many local performing arts organisations who are struggling to survive in today’s tough economic environment. Another 50 visionary supporters are urgently needed to help us create new partnerships and secure a bright future for our performing arts community.
