MESS is entering a new and exciting phase in the beating heart of the city. With support from MAP Co and a select group of passionate patrons, MESS is moving to the Atrium – right opposite the Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia. This is a game-changing relocation that will allow us to better fulfil our mission of empowering all people to build an enriched life through music. We’re excited about the challenges to come, but we need your help to make the most of this extraordinary opportunity.
Help us make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
We're making an even bigger MESS—with your support, we can continue building a creative community around electronic sound.
