About La Trobe Art Institute
La Trobe Art Institute is situated on Djaara Country in the heart of Bendigo’s arts precinct, opposite Bendigo Art Gallery.
Our program of exhibitions, residencies, education programs and public events invites regional audiences to engage with ideas through encounters with contemporary art.
Our work is contingent on innovative and meaningful partnerships with cultural, creative and academic knowledge holders. Walking beside artists and welcoming diverse experiences, we see objects in the University’s 7 art collections anew and activate them for the benefit of La Trobe and its communities. The art collections enhance and energise teaching and learning, research and campus life across our 6 Victorian campuses.
Our auditorium and meeting spaces are available for hire.
La Trobe Art Institute is a member of the Public Galleries Association of Victoria (PGAV) and University Art Museums Australia (UAMA).
