Mildura Arts Centre

Mildura Arts Centre is comprised of Rio Vista Historic House, a gallery spread across five exhibition spaces, a café bar and a 500 seat theatre featuring a forestage lift and modern production capabilities.

The galleries feature an ever changing program of exhibitions from local artists, touring artists and featured collections with a focus on the interesting and the diverse. The permanent collection of Mildura Arts Centre long ago outgrew the gallery walls, but there are always a few pieces out for visitors to enjoy.

The theatre auditorium hosts every important event from conferences, primary school graduations and excellent local productions to favourite comedians, The Australian Ballet and Circus Oz. We even have the odd cabaret show in our foyer and live community events on our lawns. VISTA Cafe Bar is an ideal spot to grab a coffee or a local wine and relax after touring the house and gallery, or before a theatre performance.

Creativity beyond mortality

Have you ever wondered if someone who is no longer alive could create art? In answer to this question, biological artists Guy Ben-Ary, Nathan Thompson and Matt Ringold, in collaboration with the now deceased Alvin Lucier, have extended the experimental composer’s “ideas about the resonance of sound” for their immersive exhibition, Revivification at the Art Gallery of Western Australia.

Sammy Hawker’s acts of co-creation

Under Sammy Hawker’s gentle guidance, whale song takes shape, ocean water becomes collaborator, salt crystals scatter themselves like stars across analogue film, and ashes murmur secrets onto silver nitrate-soaked paper. Through what she terms “facilitated acts of co-creation,” Hawker gives voice to places, materials, and the more-than-human world.
