Dindi Artists Collective (DAC) is a Kinglake Ranges non-for-profit community organisation run solely by volunteers.

DAC is an amalgamation of local community groups: Kinglake Regional Arts, Dindi Open Studios and Kinglake Craft Connections. 

DAC's objective is to support growing an inclusive Kinglake community by promoting a collective spirit of collaboration, supported by active participation in art and craft-related activities and events. 

In support of this approach, DAC aims to empower all participants, so each individual has the opportunity to contribute, create alongside others
and share their experience and ideas within a supportive, inclusive and diverse artistic environment. 

DAC is committed to providing a welcoming, safe, nurturing environment that supports
people in their creative journey by providing a variety of art and craft events.

We believe art to be a way to improve an individual’s emotional well-being
and to support better mental health.

The aim of offering various art events is to provide opportunities that
enable a reduction in an individual’s sense of social isolation and
provide a place where participants can connect, heal
and thrive, driving collaboration and
contributing to a stronger,
more resilient community.
