Art in Motion
The MTA Collective invite you on a journey into the world of LIVE art and creativity
The MTA Collective unites creative industry professionals and emerging talent, to create dynamic, immersive art experiences. Our work invites communities to witness art in action, to explore diverse styles and techniques and engage directly in the creative process. Comfortable painting and creating live, the collective is committed to fostering creativity and building meaningful, real-world connections between artists and art lovers. The MTA Collective exists to inspire all generations - celebrating presence, process and a shared passion for bold expression and mark-making.
ARTISTIC EXPRESSION
We champion the seamless blending of visual and performing arts, believing that each form enriches the other. Our collective experiences bring artists together with musicians, dancers, and actors, creating dynamic spaces where creativity converges to amplify beauty, emotion, and storytelling. Through exhibitions, live performances, and collaborative projects, we demonstrate how the fusion of visual and performing arts can inspire, move, and transform audiences.

MTA Mission
Our mission is to foster community wellbeing through artistic expression. By creating a space where artists and the public can interact, we aim to break down barriers and make art (and artists) accessible to everyone. Our artists each have a unique story to tell, with a passion for making marks through their own creative processes. The MTA collective find the time and the space for artists and art enthusiasts to come together, for a welcoming, enriching and immersive experience.
