Support Us

The Red Rattler is a queer-run creative playground that is ethical, sustainable and community owned. We actively support our community and artists to push boundaries to create and embrace experimental work and ideas in a culturally safe, sustainable space. 

We are independent and community run. As it gets harder for artists in the Inner West, we are even more committed to staying this way. 

Which means we need your support to survive, and to thrive!

Help build our community


Donating to the Red Rattler is an investment in the flourishing of creative communities and the advancement of groundbreaking artistic endeavors like FUTURE COMMUNITIES. By supporting our initiative, you contribute to the cultivation of daring, thought-provoking works that resonate deeply with our societal landscape. Through our Artist in Residence program, four talented artists embark on a year-long journey of exploration and expression, rooted in the principles of diversity, inclusion, and innovation. Your donation helps provide these artists with essential resources, including dedicated studio space, fostering an environment conducive to pushing the boundaries of art. Furthermore, your support enables us to continue empowering artists from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, amplifying their voices and showcasing their unique talents. Together, we can challenge societal paradigms, cultivate vibrant artistic communities, and champion excellence in artistic practice. Join us in shaping a future where creativity thrives and diverse perspectives are celebrated.
