MAVA Collective

A NON DISCRIMINATORY HUB THAT SUPPORTS VICTORIAN VISUAL ARTISTS

Founded by Peta Tranquille on February 15, 2019 with the purpose of helping her find other Victorian artists.
​
Peta moved to Melbourne in 2013 and wanted to be involved in the local art community. Only a year later over 750+ artists had joined the fb group. It has continued to grow and in July 2020 had 1100+ members. 
​
The group has regular group exhibitions and is focused on networking and supporting local artists. There are regular meet-up events and many friendships have developed throughout the group.

Since July 2020 Melbourne and Victorian Artists Inc. became an official non-profit association.
