What We Do
MAV works in Melbourne, regional Victoria, Australia and beyond to transform the lives of artists and communities and to enrich the cultural life of our society. From policy initiatives, advocacy and a strong culturally diverse artistic program, to personalised support to youth, indigenous and culturally diverse artists, MAV is committed to human rights, reconciliation and equity.
MAV believes in arts and social inclusion and runs more than 300 activities yearly out of which 85% are free to the public.
Multicultural Arts Victoria acknowledges that Indigenous Australians are the first people of this land. We pay our respects to all Indigenous people, past and present, and recognise their forever continuing spiritual and physical connection to the land.

Who Do We Support?
MAV is a not for profit organisation and proudly represents artists and communities from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. MAV supports both emerging and established artists and communities from all cultures.
More than 1,400 artists and 700 groups of artists are part of MAV's network and have the opportunity to showcase their talent to audiences of 500,000 yearly.

By becoming a MAV member you will be giving voice to cultural diversity in the arts and be part of a worldwide family! You will keep up with fresh ideas about what is seen as contemporary and traditional, established and experimental, mainstream and community.
