Creativity is the beating heart of our City and The Ville magazine and podcast give you an opportunity to explore what's coming up and to dive deeper into the stories of the people we work with.

We have a packed program of events, creative learning and activities that you can attend in our communities and libraries year-round. We also have cultural precincts, Goolugatup Heathcote, Wireless Hill Museum at Yagan Mia Wireless Hill Park and Atwell House & Gallery Precinct, that showcase dynamic exhibition and event programs.

Our City supports a creative economy and provides a broad range of artist opportunities open to those that live, work and play in our City.
