Join ArtSeen
ArtSeen is the Biennale of Sydney’s exciting new philanthropic initiative—designed for emerging arts supporters who want more than just a front-row seat to contemporary art. This is your invitation to go behind the scenes, support new communities, and connect with the creative minds shaping the future of culture.
For a tax-deductible donation of $500 per year, ArtSeen members unlock exclusive access to a special program of events curated by our ArtSeen Ambassador in the lead-up to the exhibition, including:
- Artist-led events
- Performances & talks
- Behind-the-scenes insights
- private tour of the Biennale exhibition
- Plus extra surprises along the way!
It’s an intimate, immersive, and unforgettable way to experience contemporary art—while directly supporting the artists who make it happen.
Led by artists.
At the heart of ArtSeen is a rotating ambassador program, with each year shaped by a prominent local artist who curates a bespoke program of events designed to platform and uplift their community. That means no two years of ArtSeen are the same—just like the art it celebrates.
2025 Ambassador: Bhenji Ra
We’re proud to welcome Bhenji Ra as ArtSeen’s inaugural ambassador.
A transdisciplinary powerhouse working across dance, video, illustration, and community activation, Bhenji brings an electrifying energy to ArtSeen.
As the leader of Western Sydney’s House of SLÉ and Mother of the Filipino and Oceanic Chapters of the iconic House of Juicy Couture, Bhenji is a visionary force in Australia’s ballroom scene—and beyond.
Her 2025 ArtSeen program will be deeply community-driven, immersive, and unforgettable.
Stay tuned for the announcement of our first event.
Be Part of Something Bigger.
Whether you’re new to supporting the arts or looking for a deeper connection to Australia’s contemporary art scene, ArtSeen is your invitation in.
