This will occur through a deliberate strategy of presenting collaborations that showcase both leading national and international artists alongside local Yarra Valley artists in the fields of visual arts, dance, theatre, music, poetry, literature, film-making and more. Importantly, YAVA are also partnering with the acclaimed food and wine industries in the Yarra Valley. 

YAVA Gallery & Arts Hub intention is to co-operate and build on the prior outstanding work of existing bodies whose distinguished reputations may be further profiled and enhanced through their relationships with YAVA.

The aim is for the work of artist members to become well known to wider audiences and thereby achieve recognition and economic gain which will benefit the whole community.
