Located on the lands of the Jagera, Yuggera, and Ugarapul people, the City of Ipswich boasts a rich tradition of arts and culture. With key institutions like the Ipswich Art Gallery and Ipswich Civic Centre, alongside a vibrant creative sector, arts and culture are central to the city’s identity and liveability.

Despite ongoing social, environmental, and economic challenges affecting the sector, there is a clear need for an inclusive and adaptable long-term vision.

To help shape this vision, we invite artists, creative industry professionals, musicians, performers, creative organisations and members of the community to share their insights. The feedback collected will be crucial in defining the arts and culture landscape in Ipswich for the next decade.
