“It was an incredibly easy decision to extend the 2018/19 program, making it our biggest season to date," says Naomi Milgrom AO, Founder of the Naomi Milgrom Foundation. 

"We couldn’t be happier that more and more people from a range of sectors and cultural backgrounds want to share and enjoy MPavilion. It further proves to us that MPavilion serves a community need as a place to come together and share ideas in the heart of the city.”
