Culture is about who we are, how we define ourselves and how we make meaning of the world around us. Participation in and access to a vibrant arts program ensures that Greater Bendigo continues to thrive as a creative, innovative and connected community.
Bendigo Venues and Event’s Creative Communities team deliver arts and cultural services through an annual arts program that contributes to the City of Greater Bendigo’s Community Vision 2021-2031: “Greater Bendigo celebrates our diverse community. We are welcoming, sustainable and prosperous. Walking hand-in-hand with the Traditional Custodians of this land. Building on our rich heritage for a bright and happy future”. Our programs are aligned with the various City plans and strategies e.g. Greater CREATIVE Bendigo, Community Plan, Cultural Diversity and Inclusion Plan and ‘Barpangu’ Reconciliation Plan 2021-2025. The team values diversity and inclusion, encourages participation in the arts and promotes the health and wellbeing benefits of creativity and arts participation.
