The Victoria Association of Mask and Puppetry (VAMP) is a dynamic incubator, curator, and producer of innovative mask and puppetry art. We celebrate and advance these timeless art forms by fostering creativity, collaboration, and community engagement.

Inspire Curiosity

Empower professional and emerging artists to explore the possibilities of animated storytelling, by supporting the development of original mask and puppet productions.

Share Knowledge

To further the development of the genre on the west coast, VAMP will become a hub for local and international practitioners by providing mask/puppetry training, and opportunities for dialogue and exchange.

Curate and Showcase

Present local, national, and international works that highlight the diversity, innovation, and cultural significance of puppetry and mask related art.

VAMP is committed to building a more inclusive and vibrant cultural landscape by making these expressive art forms accessible and relevant to all, while supporting artists in their creative journeys. Through our work, we aim to preserve the heritage of puppetry and masks, inspire new generations of creators, and bring transformative storytelling to life.
