The Organisation

The Dax Centre is a non-profit art gallery located in Parkville. We showcase artists with a lived experience of mental illness or psychological trauma, and house the Cunningham Dax Collection of over 16,000 pieces by people with lived experience.

The Dax Centre is a leader in the use of art to raise awareness and reduce stigma toward mental illness. Through our exhibitions and educational programs we seek to engage, inform and encourage community connections and conversations about mental health.
