UMAC acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners of the unceded land on which we work. We pay respect to their Elders past and present, and their enduring traditions of knowledge sharing, performing and storytelling on this land.
Arts and Cultural Building
The Arts and Cultural Building is a vibrant cultural hub and the new home to the iconic Union and Guild Theatres and UMSU's George Paton Gallery.
