Councils across the state are doing many things to support arts and culture. Many provide funding and resources to local artists and arts organisations, helping turn creative dreams into reality.
Some councils host exciting events and partner with different groups to create festivals that bring communities together. They also offer spaces where artists can freely create, collaborate, and exhibit. Councils also create arts and cultural events like art shows, cultural festivals and events.
The impact of council support goes beyond artistry. It also has important economic, social, and cultural benefits.

This strong sense of community connection and belonging is good for everyone's health and wellbeing.
