Capital Arts Patrons’ Organisation (CAPO) was formed in 1983 to foster and promote the arts in Canberra and the surrounding region.

CAPO runs an annual grants round to directly support artists and hosts an annual art auction fundraising event to raise vital funds for future projects. Through patronage and partnership, we help creativity thrive.
