About the organisation
The Abbotsford Convent is Australia's largest multi-arts precinct and a much loved cultural and community hub of Melbourne. The Convent precinct comprises 11 historic buildings, two galleries, four cafes, a radio station, a school, and 6.8 hectares of expansive gardens and open spaces. A thriving and dynamic community, the Convent is home to 127 tenants including visual artists, writers, designers, performers and wellbeing practitioners, and welcomes nearly one million visitors each year.
The Convent is managed by the Abbotsford Convent Foundation (ACF) – the not-for-profit organisation that owns and operates the precinct on behalf of the public, and manages the day-to-day operations, sustainability and future vision of this unique arts, culture and learning precinct. Receiving no recurrent funding from any level of government for the day-to-day running of the Convent precinct, the ACF relies on our social enterprise model and the sustained support of the community to ensure the precinct remains open, activated and accessible to everyone, 365 days of the year.
