Glenelg Shire Council offers a comprehensive Arts Program.
| | | |
| The Arts Program annually features a diverse variety of touring performances, which are selected to cater for a range of interests in the community. Most performances are presented in the Portland Arts Centre, but some are also presented in the Portland Civic Hall, and in both the Casterton Town Hall and the Heywood Community Hall.
In addition, the Program presents at least twelve exhibitions per year in the Portland Arts Centre in two gallery spaces - the CEMA Gallery and the Woolcock Gallery. The majority of these exhibitions feature some of the many talented visual artists living in the region, but the exhibition program also includes artists from outside the region, and sometimes touring exhibitions of visual arts and/or social history.The Glenelg Shire Council Arts Program also provides advice and support for arts and cultural activities and projects initiated by local artists and various community arts organisations in the Shire, and where appropriate, works in collaboration with other units within Council, and with other local organisations to implement a variety of arts-related activities.
