In 2022 and 2023 the Ubuntu Foundation contributed a generous donation to Brisbane Festival's Giving Program which allowed the commissioning of two community engagement programs in 2022 - Brisbane Serenades and Dance Halls, and two programs in 2023 - Moorooka Block Party and Salamander.

Brisbane Festival is deeply committed to making the impossible possible for our audiences and our artists. September is an important time of the year when our artists are pushed beyond the horizon to make the work of their dreams come to life.

Free programming is a cornerstone of Brisbane Festival's program from year to year, with donations like those from the Ubuntu Foundation making it possible.
