INDUSTRIES

At Murray Arts, we value artistic endeavours, creativity and integrity. We believe in the ability of the arts to connect us.

Murray Arts acknowledges the traditional custodians and caretakers of the land and waters on which we are privileged to work. We pay our respects to the Elders past and present and encourage everyone to champion the emerging leaders of the future.

The Murray Arts footprint borders the Indigenous Nations of Duduroa, Yaithmathang, Bangerang, Wiradjuri, Yorta Yorta and Waveroo and encompasses the local government areas of Albury City, Federation Shire, Greater Hume Shire, Indigo Shire, Towong Shire and Wodonga City.
