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.
Located next to the No. 1 Swanston Street tram stop, minutes from Lygon St, the Arts and Cultural Building is part of the new Parkville 6-Star Green Star precinct which has already been recognised with multiple wins at the Australian Institute of Architects and the 2023 Good Design Awards.
