As part of its campus expansion, the VCA acquired and redeveloped the nearby Dodds Street Stables of the Victoria Police mounted branch, enhancing its facilities for students.
The VCA became an affiliated college of the University of Melbourne, integrating its programs with a leading Australian university to enhance academic and artistic opportunities for students.
The VCA hosted the congress of the Centre International de Liaison des Ecoles de Cinéma et de Télévision (CILECT), the international association of major film and television schools, highlighting its prominence in the global film education community.
The VCA expanded its offerings by incorporating the Swinburne Film and Television School, thereby enhancing its film and television curriculum.
The VCA supported the establishment of the Australian Children’s Television Foundation, promoting quality children’s programming and contributing to the development of the Australian television industry.
The VCA was reconstituted under a specific act of the Victorian Parliament to better prepare students for professional artistic careers, reflecting its unique role in the arts community.
The VCA played a role in developing a museum policy for Victoria, contributing to the establishment of a Museum of Social and Political History at the Old Treasury Building, thereby enriching the state’s cultural landscape.
The VCA established a secondary school to provide specialized education in dance and music for younger students, fostering early talent and serving as a preparatory institution for its tertiary programs.
The VCA was founded to provide specialized education in the arts, building upon the legacy of the National Gallery of Victoria Art School, which was established in 1867.
In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the VCA launched “VCA 50 Future Stories,” highlighting how students, staff, and researchers are shaping the future of the arts. This initiative underscores the VCA’s commitment to transformative work and artistic invention.
