Giving Philosophy
The Victorian Arts Centre Trust operates Arts Centre Melbourne with a philosophy rooted in providing direct public access to cultural experiences. Its mission is to be a vibrant cultural and community hub, shaping Melbourne's identity through the arts and ensuring these institutions are recognized as 'theirs' by the people of Victoria, rather than functioning as a grant-making philanthropic entity.
