About

Pink Dolphin Group (PDG) is a Melbourne-based multicultural organisation dedicated to strengthening cultural representation, inclusion and community connection among Latin American, Latinx, LGBTQIA+, and diverse communities. PDG’s mission is to develop sustainable, community-led cultural platforms that centre lived experience and provide meaningful opportunities for participation across arts, music, events and storytelling.


The organisation’s key objectives are to increase visibility and representation of underrepresented communities, support artists and creative practitioners, foster social connection and belonging, and create ongoing cultural opportunities that extend beyond one-off events. PDG also aims to build strong partnerships with creative, community and industry organisations to strengthen the sustainability and reach of its projects.


Through initiatives such as Verbena and other cultural and storytelling projects, PDG contributes to a more inclusive Melbourne by celebrating multicultural identity, supporting creative expression and creating spaces where diverse communities can connect, participate and thrive.
