APHIDS is proud to be artist led and last year committed to employing 80 artists across projects and close to 90% of our income towards artistic wages and fees. We want to continue to platform diverse, experimental artists and to prioritise getting more cash into artists’ pockets. 

One of our highlight APHIDS’ programs is Supermassive, where we offer a tailored year of support for independent artists who are working out how to build a career in the arts. From teasing out ideas to sharing producing skills, these artists are integrated into the company with shared resources, close consultation and connection. We know this works – previous Supermassive artists have even gone onto become artistic directors of APHIDS!

“APHIDS Supermassive program gave my collaborator Theona Councillor and I the necessary skills and mentorship to steer our truth-telling opera to production level.“ – George Criddle, 2024 Supermassive Artist

We want to double our financial support of Supermassive to allow artists to not just survive but thrive. We would love it if you had capacity to support some of the incredible artists working with and around us. Donate today.
