SUPPORT THE FUTURE OF ARTS EDUCATION
Shock Therapy Arts make transformative arts experiences, but with your help, we can work to develop a generation of socially informed, emotionally intelligent, critical thinking Australians who’ll live in a thriving society that expresses and explores its values through arts and culture.
Why we need your support
As a Not-For-Profit, Social Enterprise organisation, donations from people who understand the transformative power of art, are vital to Shock Therapy Arts’ survival. It’s been alarming for us to witness the dwindling resources for arts – particularly in the Education sector.
For ten years we’ve made extraordinary arts experiences on extraordinarily tight budgets, and now, for the first time, we are asking our friends, family, peers, supporters, audiences, and anyone who loves our work and seen its positive impact on young people, to helps us keep doing what we do.
What can your gift do?
Your donation goes towards alleviating the costs associated with these three crucial aspects of our work.
1) Education:
Creating and delivering performances that help young people process their ideas and emotions around topics like coercive control, domestic abuse, self-identity, peer pressure, politics, racism, classism, and online safety.
Building skills to develop language, behaviour, critical-thinking and ‘soft-skills’, future-proofing the next generation’s contribution to an increasingly automated workforce.
2) Bringing Arts Experiences into Regional Communities:
Fuel and vehicle costs.
Accommodation for touring artists.
3) New Australian Stories:
Employing artists to create stories that reflect our society.
Creating stories that have a unique Australian voice.
