From the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Eastern Kulin Nations, Next Wave is privileged to traverse the land and waterways of this continent of many nations – to share in the act of art making and culture building – grounded on justice, friendship and care. This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.

Who We Are

See how art gets made.

Next Wave Collective is a two-year giving program, where an intimate group of supporters experience Next Wave’s unique festival cycle from the inside.

Meet artists. See how art gets made. Engage in the ideas that drive it.

Joining the Collective is a statement about the future you want to see. It means Next Wave artists are surrounded by a loyal community of supporters who share our values and want to see new work come to life.

Next Wave Collective membership includes:

Invitations to intimate meet-and-greets nationwide
Opportunities to attend artist development showings leading into Next Wave Festival
Regular updates from artists about their creative process
Offers on events at Brunswick Mechanics Institute and Next Wave Festival
Opening night invitations to special projects produced by Next Wave
Personalised recommendations to buy and experience emerging art in Melbourne
Invitations to talks and events in the lead up to and during Next Wave Festival

This giving opportunity only comes around once every two years, and registrations are now closed.
