Nillumbik Shire Council ARTS & CULTURE

Culture, arts, and heritage are integral to the health, prosperity and the vitality of our communities. They bring us together, help us enjoy our environment and to flourish personally. They foster creativity and innovation, provide employment and celebrate our unique heritage. 

The scope of arts and culture in Nillumbik encompasses First Nations arts, literature, music in all forms, theatre, dance in all forms, other performing arts such as circus, comedy and puppetry, screen-based arts, festivals and events, visual arts and craft, and emerging
and experimental arts.

Arts and culture are part of the DNA of our community. The Shire is known for its strong artistic heritage, which continues to grow and
evolve and find new ways to express itself.
