QPAC

MinterEllison - a supporter of the performing arts across Australia

If there’s one thing we love at QPAC it’s curiosity. Curiosity drives us to think differently, create new worlds and transport audiences to different places, to challenge the way things have always been done, to explore new ways to share stories and connect people.

That curiosity is something that connected QPAC and MinterEllison in 2017 and is what has sustained our partnership since then. One of Australia’s largest law firms, MinterEllison has a nationwide program of performing arts partnerships at the centre of its corporate sponsorship program. The firm’s support of the arts is driven by its values of curiosity, excellence and collaboration. 
 
QPAC Chief Executive Rachel Healy sees MinterEllison as a valued partner that enables work that QPAC may not otherwise be able to do. 
 
“The dedicated support of MinterEllison and their long-term commitment to what we do here at QPAC is vital to allow us to plan ahead, to program productions and seasons that help us reach wider audiences and to develop community engagement activities that extend the reach of the arts beyond the stage,” Ms Healy said.  
 
“We love that they share our sense of curiosity and collaboration. Although the outcomes may look very different in a law firm than they do in an arts centre, they are values that define how we both work and who we are as organisations and are therefore a connecting force. 
 
“MinterEllison has been behind some of our most successful seasons over the years including Boy Swallows Universe, Love Stories, Penn & Teller and our International Series.
 
MinterEllison Brisbane Office Managing Partner, Melinda Smith said the Brisbane team was passionate about supporting Queensland business and arts.  
 
“We see QPAC as an inspiring institution that creates powerful experiences and showcases Queensland on a world stage,” she said. 
 
“Our partnership with QPAC is founded on both a love of performing arts and set of strong shared values. Like QPAC we value innovation, leadership and collaboration. We celebrate diversity, in all its forms, as a key strength. 
 
“Our purpose is to create lasting impacts with our clients, our people, and our communities. Just as the performances at QPAC do for their audiences.” 
 
We are proud to continue this enduring and impactful partnership with MinterEllison, which helps bring the transformative power of the performing arts to life for both our audiences and the wider community.
