The centre is home to our children, families and creative learning program, along with new and expanded programming including STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) and other initiatives. Thank you to our Centre for Creativity major donors: our founding donor Yarranabbe Foundation; Ove Arup Foundation; Turnbull Foundation; Boyarsky family; and The Greatorex Fund. And to all our Opera House donors who enable so much of what we do.
