Nine students from the Wilin Centre for Indigenous Arts and Cultural Development graduated with a Graduate Certificate in Indigenous Arts Management at the May VCA and Music conferring ceremony in the Melbourne Town Hall, while another Indigenous student graduated with a Bachelor of Dramatic Arts, with excitement and pride emanating from everyone at VCAM.

The certificate is intended to ensure that arts management for Indigenous people and communities embraces a facilitative and self-determining model of education. It aims to facilitate empowerment and self-determination among Indigenous artists and community leaders seeking to manage, market and protect Indigenous arts product in local, national and international contexts.
