About our venue

Learn about the meaning of the artwork we have at our venue.

A summons is a legal document that requires a person to attend to give verbal evidence at a hearing or produce documents to VCAT. The summonsed person can send summonsed documents to us. If they are summonsed to attend to give evidence, we may give them permission to attend by phone or video conference.
