ARTS MELBOURNE 2011

From 1 January 2008 the Melbourne Festival has become a trading name of Arts Melbourne Limited, a company limited by guarantee, (this means that all profits, if there are any, are re-invested, not paid as dividends to shareholders). The principal reason for doing this was that there are arts related activities, such as exhibitions that need a different approach and publicity and are outside the September Melbourne Festival. There are other similar projects, such as workshops, a web gallery and a forum for debate and information exchange.
Becoming a limited company does not change the ethos of the Melbourne Festival;
it simply helps to ensure it will survive for years to come.
