Burrinja complements and enhances the Vision of the Dandenong Ranges Community Cultural Centre: Building Community through Arts.

Our vision for Burrinja is to provide an innovative gallery of excellence for the display and promotion of art works with an Indigenous or contemporary focus.

Our aim is to provide programs that stimulate cross-cultural awareness and promote respect for Indigenous and contemporary art and culture. Burrinja will provide exhibitions and education programs that offer broad opportunities for learning and research.

Burrinja will: facilitate partnerships with the Koorie community and cultural/ educational organisations, promote touring opportunities, and provide community access to the Neil McLeod Gift Collection.

In partnership with the Shire of Yarra Ranges, Burrinja undertakes the conservation, curation, display, promotion and storage of the Neil McLeod Gift collection.
