City of Melbourne

Melbourne’s art reflects the distinctive life of our city, and also helps make it what it is: a confident cultural capital with a global reputation for its diversity, energy and creativity.

City of Melbourne plays an important role in the arts, fostering creative experimentation by encouraging and funding artists, promoting participation, and bringing art and people together in the heart of the city. We produce a range of arts activities, festivals and events, manage workshop and performance venues, as well as supporting artists to live and work in our city.
