La Trobe University Visual Arts Centre

Sydney Private Schools introduces La Trobe University Visual Arts Centre in Bendigo, for all your education and learning needs.

The La Trobe University Visual Arts Centre (VAC) is the focus for the University’s cultural mission in Bendigo, showcasing contemporary art practice and providing a focus for discussion relevant to current ideas and art practice. In addition to an exhibition program that seeks to present cutting edge contemporary visual art, the VAC aims to engage with the community through a public lecture program, artist floor talks and residencies featuring local, national and international artists. The VAC also offers a unique space to host conferences, public seminars and social events.

Located directly opposite Bendigo Art Gallery and the Capital Theatre, the VAC is a multipurpose visual arts facility. The award winning building, designed by architect Peter Elliott, features two galleries, two sculpture courtyards, a tiered auditorium, meeting room and an artist-in-residence apartment and studio. There is a strong indoor outdoor relationship between spaces which provides a dynamic setting for staff, students, visiting artists and the public.

Gallery hours are Tuesday – Sunday, 10am to 5pm.
