St Martins is a registered charity. We rely on the generosity of our community to continue our work with children and young people. Your support helps us create bold new work with young artists, deliver transformational drama workshops, and keep our venue alive with independent artists and big ideas.
Ways you can support St Martins:
Our annual IMPACT
Through our Young Changemakers, Congress, and weekly workshop programs in South Yarra and Northcote, young people build skills, confidence and creativity.
Our venues support over 16,000 experiences for artists, makers and producers, providing the space and resources they need to create, rehearse and share their work.
Last year, St Martins engaged nearly 10,000 audience members in our venues and offsite at our major production, connecting and inspiring communities.
Across our programs, productions and venues St Martins provides nearly 2,000 employment opportunities annually for artists and arts workers.
