  • Adelaide Fringe and the Adelaide Festival
    Australian Services Union SA + NT Branch The ASU campaigns for fairness and equality in our workplaces, communities + globally Join the union for social justice activists 08 8363 1322 Foreword Together with our sponsors, the Don Dunstan Foundation is proud to present the 2019 Social Change Guide to the Adelaide Fringe and the Adelaide Festival. This Guide is our biggest yet with 181 shows featuring a diverse display of culture of which Don Dunstan would have been proud. Don was not only Premier of South Australia during the 1970s, but was also a trained actor. A strong supporter of the Arts throughout his lifetime, he was a patron of the Fringe and narrated Carnival of the Animals in the 1974 Festival of Arts. The Dunstan Decade saw South Australia lead the nation in progressive social reforms, and laid the foundation for Adelaide’s transformation into ‘the Festival State’. The Adelaide Festival was at the forefront of this transformation; since its launch in 1960 they have been showcasing diverse shows from all around the world. In 1974 the Fringe released its first Souvenir Programme, beginning its evolution into what is now the largest arts festival in the Southern Hemisphere. Each year, both go from strength to strength. The Arts bring us together, and help to create and celebrate our diversity. When we offer access to art in all its forms, we improve the quality of life for everyone in our community. Through the Arts we have a chance to see the world from a new perspective, and at its best, art can inspire us to take action for a fairer world.

The past twelve months have been a period of challenges and opportunities for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities, in particular new and emerging communities. With each day that passes, we see the breadth of the contribution that migrants and refugees make to the social, economic and cultural life of South Australia, enriching communities in the metropolitan and regional areas and showcasing our State as an exemplar of peace, harmony and acceptance. As in 2012-13, this past year has seen a continuation of the growing interest in multiculturalism.

  • Moby,Gotye, Boy&Bear and Australia's Music Elite Join
    December 5, 2011 MOBY,GOTYE, BOY&BEAR AND AUSTRALIA’S MUSIC ELITE JOIN FORCES WITH GPY&R SYDNEY IN MASSIVE BUSINESS DRIVE FOR VINNIES George Patterson Y&R Sydney has developed a multi-platform campaign for Vinnies designed to drive foot traffic through the charity’s 253 stores across NSW. It’s called Signed Finds and works on a very basic principle. Leading local and international music artists* have autographed and donated pre-loved, personal items that will be hidden in Vinnies outlets throughout the state. The fans of these bands (numbering in the millions) will receive hints about the shirts’ whereabouts through a dedicated Facebook page and then hit the stores to find them. They might not find the shirt first time, but they’ll likely walk out with some other Vinnies classic. Says ECD Julian Watt, “It’s a highly creative business initiative, and exactly the sort of thinking we’re pushing in the agency. Everyone wins. One of those self perpetuating ideas.” Luke Simkins, senior creative at GPY&R and long-time Vinnies shopper said, “Signed Finds is one of those creative perfect storms. “Recording artists get to do something cool for their fans and fans can get their hands on an amazing piece of memorabilia - all while helping people in need.” Julie McDonald, Community and Corporate Relations Manager for Vinnies said, “We’re delighted and honoured to be working with George Patterson Y&R on such an exciting project. “It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved because by shopping or donating to Vinnies, you are directly supporting the most marginalised and disadvantaged people in our community,” Julie added.
