InfraBuild partners with Poetry in Action to expand access to arts and literacy across Australia

InfraBuild is proud to announce a new National Touring Partnership with Poetry in Action, supporting the organisation’s touring program from 2026 to 2028. The partnership will help expand access to live arts and literacy experiences for schools in metropolitan, regional and remote communities across Australia.

The partnership was announced as part of Poetry in Action’s 20th anniversary celebrations, marking an important milestone for the organisation as it continues to grow its reach and impact nationally. Over the next three years, the partnership will support Poetry in Action’s mission to reduce barriers to arts participation and bring inspiring performances to more young Australians.

InfraBuild CEO Francisco Irazusta said the partnership reflects the company’s broader commitment to strengthening communities. “We’re proud to partner with Poetry in Action to expand access to inspiring arts and literacy experiences for young Australians. Building stronger communities isn’t just about infrastructure, it’s about access to education, creativity and opportunity, and this partnership helps bring that to life across Australia.”

Poetry in Action CEO and Artistic Director Bryce Youngman said the support would have a meaningful impact on the organisation’s work and future growth. “This partnership is a huge boon for us, and will have a massive impact on our mission to reduce barriers to arts participation nationwide.”

Founded in 2006, Poetry in Action has reached more than 900,000 young people and is on track to engage its one millionth audience member in 2026. Each year, the organisation connects with more than 70,000 students, touring to over 300 locations across Australia, New Zealand, and international markets. Through original performances by Australian artists, Poetry in Action has become a valued part of the cultural and education landscape, while also creating employment pathways in theatre, film, and education.

For InfraBuild, the partnership represents an opportunity to invest in education, creativity and community connection in a way that aligns with its purpose and values. By supporting Poetry in Action’s national touring program, InfraBuild is helping create greater opportunity for young people to access engaging learning experiences, regardless of where they live.
