https://www.instagram.com/umsu_creative_arts/ This page will keep you updated on the artistic opportunities available to students at the University of Melbourne through the Student Union's Creative Arts Department. Whether you’re interested in music, dance, theatre, film, performance art, visual art,

makeup, baking, knitting, or carving fruit, we’re here to make sure you get to do it all, because art lends so much real value to living. Our department manages the Creative Arts collectives, events, programs and grants, and we have a whole bunch planned this year! Our key goals are to encourage and facilitate diverse, experimental, accessible, and sustainable artmaking and we will be running many collaborative events and workshops to that end. We want to hear your feedback and your voice. We are your student representatives, but we can only truly represent you if we listen to you. The office this year consists consists of your Creative Arts Officers – Marcie Di Bartolomeo and Prerna Aggarwal, and your Creative Arts committee including Leslie Ho, Leah Bourne, Kavi Ramdass, Jemilla Lister, and Haley Nguyen. There’s lots of information on this website and on our page (chuck us a like while you’re there!)

You can also email us at [email protected] or call 03 8344 3872 for more information, or visit us in our Creative Arts Office on Level 1 of Union House next to the Union House Theatre Office. And if you haven’t had enough of us you can also follow us on Instagram at umsu_creative_arts

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land where we live and work, the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nations, and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and future and also pay our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. This land was stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. Colonisation is ongoing and its presence in art is very prevalent.
