Multicultural Arts Victoria (MAV) is Victoria's peak arts organisation promoting cultural diversity in the arts. It provides opportunities and support structures to artists and communities from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds as well as offering culturally diverse art to the public at large.
MAV is a membership based organisation representing individuals, groups and communities across all art forms; music, dance, theatre, film and TV, visual arts and new media.
Since its establishment in 1983, MAV has worked consistently to support artists and communities in Victoria and has a strong history of quality program delivery and of encouraging innovation and creative cultural expression in the arts.
MAV produces an annual program of projects and events promoting Victoria's diverse artists and different art forms, offering fresh ideas about what is seen as contemporary and traditional, established and experimental, mainstream and community.
As a specialist arts resource agency, MAV offers a wide range of services and information. MAV is also an agent and broker for artists and groups with expertise in arts marketing, promotion and publicity, project administration, assistance and information regarding arts funding, grants and applications.
