Mia Mia Gallery
  • The word Mia Mia means shelter.

    The Mia Mia Aboriginal Art Gallery & Café offers shelter to indigenous artists to create and distribute their works.

    We invite you to visit Mia Mia Gallery and experience a genuine insight into our planet’s most ancient living culture, a proud indigenous culture of both yesterday and today.

    On some weekends at Mia Mia you will see entertainment with didgeridoo playing, boomerang throwing and more. Click here for more information.

    Stay tuned as we are working on a new website and providing the option to purchase both original artwork and fine art reproductions online. In the meantime visit us at the gallery to see and purchase this inspiring work.

    We will also be introducing a new range of education programs including incursion and excursion options that will provide your school with the ideal opportunity to engage, first-hand, with aboriginal culture. These programs will include exploring aboriginal culture through art, dance, music and story-telling. Visit our education page for more details.

  • The Aboriginal Artists Development Fund Inc., in conjunction with The Didge Circle, with major sponsorship from Mia Mia Gallery and Manningham City Council are proud to bring you the third annual Melbourne Didgeridoo and Cultural Festival. The festival will be a day long celebration and showcase of one of the world’s oldest wind instruments, the didgeridoo. It will be a day of entertainment for the whole family with stalls, workshops, activities and a concert featuring world-class performers and musicians.

    The festival will be a celebration that will recognise, acknowledge and respect the Wurundjeri people as the traditional owners of the land on which the festival is being held. It will also recognise, acknowledge and respect the Yolngu people of NE Arnhem Land as the traditional owners and custodians of the didgeridoo.

    The festival is part funded through Manningham City Council’s Community Development Grant Program for which we appreciate their ongoing support.

    The event will run from 11am to 10pm at Mia Mia Gallery located in Westerfolds Park, Templestowe. For more details please visit the Festival website at www.didgefestival.com
