Our lives have been deeply changed over the last 12 months. Never before have we been so distant, yet at the same time craved connection and transcendent beauty. But how can we create that in our lives? Throughout history, societies have turned to their artists and musicians for such life-affirming experiences.
And now, an unquenchable musical force emerges from lockdown. Forest Collective is back and creating moving, memorable and vibrant performance experiences for Melbourne audiences once again. With a 2021 season exploding with incredible contemporary music, our extraordinary performances will be something you can’t afford to miss!
But we can’t do it without you. We are asking for your help to bring these exciting and visceral musical experiences to life.
Your donation creates something beautiful in the world: the irreplaceable physical and auditory experience of live performance. Something we have all been missing this last year! Something you can give to the world.
We have all now seen what a world without live music looks like. We have tasted what can happen when live music isn’t supported or valued.
Donate now and let’s make sure Melbourne’s once-thriving and edgy live music scene returns to its rightful place in the cultural landscape.
And watch on with pride in our 2021 performances, knowing your enlightened generosity enabled these wonderful artistic events to go ahead!

So we ask you to throw us some coin so that we can pay our artists professional rates, including superannuation and lots of other dull yet necissary things like insurance, venue hire, production costs, marketing costs and so so much more!
