Dindi Artists Collective (DAC) is a Kinglake Ranges not-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 objectiveis 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.
