Neurokin Arts Festival, Australia’s first neurodiversity arts festival (formerly Sensory Sanctuary), showcases and celebrates the talents and creativity of neurodivergent people whilst fostering neurodivergent community, culture and leadership.

Back for a second round in June 2025, we are looking for people to get involved!

Calling All Neurodivergent Creatives…

Local, interstate and international neurodivergent artists, musicians, actors, presenters, authors, academics, workshop facilitators and more, with opportunities to present both online (June 6-9) and in person in Castlemaine, Central Victoria (June 13-15).

Support The Festival

There are many ways in which you can support the festival through a donation or sponsorship. You can help us to make the festival more accessible, to stream live festival content to wider audiences and showcase more Neurodivergent authors, artists, musicians and academics.

In appreciation of contributions, all donors will receive a social media shout out. All sponsors (donating more than $100) will  receive 2 free tickets to the event they are sponsoring as well as to our Official Opening, their name or logo on the festival website and in printed materials alongside the workshop they are sponsoring. Group and Major Sponsors (over $1000) will also have their name or logo featured on the general festival flyer and promotional materials.

“such a helpful, joyful and inspiring event. I’m beyond grateful and excited to have had the opportunity to attend. This was so good for our learning, community connection, sense of self worth and general well being.”
