Youth and Education Program
Be Bold. Be Brave. Be Brisbane.
Brisbane Festival is unlike anything else you can experience in the world. We redefine what an International Arts Festival looks and feels like, staying ahead of the game and bringing the next generation with us.
The curated multi-arts program presents a bold program transporting our audience beyond the everyday through captivating performances and installations from across the world.
Brisbane Festival acknowledges this country’s First Nations people and with their leadership and guidance, we celebrate that deep cultural legacy. We create a rich multi-arts program made by and with our local Indigenous community.
