Programs

The City of Maribyrnong has a vibrant arts and creative industries sector. It is home to a significant artist population, and contains a broad array of arts organisations and creative sector businesses. It is also home to a culturally rich and diverse community that is eager to participate in and engage with the arts. Arts and Culture Maribyrnong draw our programs from the goals outlined in the Arts and Culture Strategy 2018-2023.
