In Palmerston, we have a strong and proud cultural and artistic identity, with a number of tangible cultural assets.
Aligning with our Community Plan and Creative Industry Plan we want to promote professional growth, creative exploration, innovation and foster community engagement.
We're committed to further strengthening the foundations of community engagement in the arts, skill-building and development in the creative industries in order to grow opportunities for current and future artists, creatives and community audiences.
Our vision is to support and invest in Palmerston’s diverse current and emerging creative community, recognising that cultural and creative practice is a powerful tool that can transform individual creativity into lasting social and commercial outcomes.
