Public Galleries: Our Creative Heart

For over 150 years, public galleries have been the creative heart of Victorian communities.

Today, more than 5.3 million people visit one of our 60+ galleries across the state each year to view, learn about, and make, art.

Our Creative Heart is a campaign by the Public Galleries Association of Victoria, sharing the role and value of galleries to local communities and highlighting why greater investment from the Victorian Government is vital to sustaining these cultural hubs.

Many public galleries are in crisis — the Our Creative Heart campaign aims to call attention to the realities of our sector.
