AMaGA Victoria has provided a submission for the New National Cultural Policy. The submission promotes ensuring that the broad cultural vision articulated in Revive is matched by equally broad workforce, investment and implementation settings.

The 2026 Victorian Museums and Galleries Awards were announced at a gala ceremony held on Tuesday 28 April at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA), hosted by Janty Blair – proud Butchulla, Mununjhali and Woppaburra woman, artist, comedian, and playwright.

Now celebrating their 32nd year, the Awards acknowledge and highlight outstanding achievements across the museum, gallery and community collecting sector. There were 21 awards presented during the evening.

Ash Robertson (Executive Director), Michelle Fracaro (Manager, Programs and PD) and Ciara Griffiths (Project Officer) travelled through the Alpine region as part of the Glam Show. These informal gatherings are a chance to connect with current and prospective members, share more about the work of AMaGA Victoria, and, most importantly, listen to the experiences and insights of those working and volunteering across the sector. We had the pleasure of meeting passionate volunteers from historical societies in Falls Creek, Bright, Harrietville, Myrtleford, and Mansfield, and we’re incredibly grateful for the warm hospitality, thoughtful conversations, and the unwavering dedication these communities bring to preserving and sharing local history.
