What it is
More than a pass, a commitment
The Future Pass is a lifetime membership program built to enhance connections and foster innovation across the arts scene. It is not just another expense. It is designed to enrich the festival for everyone involved, from staff and volunteers to artists and attendees, and to put fairness and inclusion at the centre of how we choose and support artists.
