Dax Centre

The Dax Centre conducts programs that utilise the Cunningham Dax Collection. The Dax Centre uses this Collection as the centrepiece of exhibitions and learning programs for students at all levels, as well as for the community at large. The Centre also conducts specially directed projects in order to promote mental wellbeing. Our staff works closely with artists and communities who contribute their work and life stories to the Cunningham Dax Collection. The Centre partners and collaborates with organisations that share a common interest in improving mental health and promoting mental wellbeing by increasing understanding of mental illness and psychological trauma.

The Centre is located in the grounds of the University of Melbourne, and this location facilitates many of these collaborations.
