Our

Partners

Strong partnerships are

crucial to UMI Arts:

“TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG”

We understand and appreciate the significance of growing partnerships with like minded organisations, that share the same beliefs and values as UMI Arts, and understand the importance of protecting and maintaining culture. We work with many other organisations to deliver programs focused on strengthening First Nations Arts and Culture in Far North Queensland. We are always looking to forge new friendships and partnerships, as we know this is how we can continue to expand our services, grow our reach, and ensure we are offering constant and relevent opportunities and growth to our members.
