Culture

RMIT Culture unites the university’s public cultural spaces, creative programs and art, film and design collections, providing opportunities to engage creatively, as well as supporting RMIT’s learning and teaching activities, and disseminating its research.

There are many ways that the whole community, as well as RMIT staff, students, industry and research partners, can engage with RMIT Culture – including dynamic programs of exhibitions, conversations, performances and publications, film screenings, online resources, creative development and research opportunities.

Our teams manage the university’s venues and cultural programs (The Capitol, the Situate residency program, Lightscapes public art project, Speaker lecture series and literary arts projects such the Salon Series and McCraith House Residency Program); Galleries (RMIT Design Hub Gallery, RMIT Gallery, Project Space, Spare Room, First Site Student Gallery and Site Eight); and Collections (RMIT Design Archives, AFI Research Collection, RMIT Art Collection).

By showcasing and expanding RMIT’s cultural assets through new initiatives and vibrant partnered projects, RMIT Culture strengthens RMIT’s position as a leading university for enterprise, design and innovation.

We acknowledge the continuing culture of the Woi wurrung and Boon wurrung language groups of the eastern Kulin Nation and their contribution to the life and art of this city, including those whose works are represented in RMIT’s exhibitions, collections and cultural resources.
