AMaGA Victoria and PGAV are proud to continue celebrating excellence across Victoria’s museum and gallery sector. In response to the timing changes made by AMaGA National for its National Conference and Awards last year, we have decided to adjust the date of the Victorian Museums and Galleries Awards. This shift is designed to create a clearer distinction between the two awards.

AMaGA Victoria has made a submission into the Inquiry into the cultural and creative industries in Victoria.

As the peak body for the Victorian museum and gallery industry, AMaGA Victoria aims to facilitate the exchange of information and ideas in ways that affirm their value, stimulate debate about principles and standards, and inform and inspire staff, volunteers, and supporters. Providing a representative voice for collecting organisations at all government and community levels and foster high museum and gallery management standards through research, policy development, publications, and training.

The wait is over. The much-anticipated 2025 Annual Program is here!

From January through June, we have a packed lineup of events, workshops, and seminars designed to inspire, educate, and engage museum and gallery professionals.

AMaGA Victoria has commemorated another successful year with our End of Year Celebration. This year the event was hosted at Bundoora Homestead Art Centre.

Thank you to the staff, committees and sector members for their hard work and involvement in shaping AMaGA Victoria. We also would like to thank our sponsors and supporters for their crucial contributions.

The End of Year round-up is available for viewing here, along with key highlights from the past year.

We warmly congratulate the dedicated organisations and collaborators behind these outstanding projects, as well as the individuals who exemplify the best of our sector.

AMaGA Victoria has provided the Victorian Government with six focus areas (highlighted within the green circle) represent foundational principles that underpin AMaGA Victoria's activities and inform every aspect of our sector’s work. These elements include First Peoples engagement, cultural safety, education, regional development, community, and funding.

We’re thrilled to introduce to you the two newest members of the AMaGA Victoria team, Kavita Peterson (Project Officer Intern) and Maria Dunne (Communications Manager).
