ARETHA: A Love Letter to the Queen of Soul at ECU Joondalup.
Here at the City of Joondalup, arts and culture play a significant role in connecting our communities, promoting a sense of belonging, and creating a vibrant place to live.
Cultural Plan
We are committed to providing arts and cultural activities that reflect Joondalup’s vision of being ‘A Global City: Bold, Creative, and Prosperous’.
Our Cultural Plan has been developed through community consultation and provides strategic direction for all arts and cultural events and activities, as well as the City’s aspirations for growing its creative economy.
To ensure that the City’s investment continues to be directed towards the programming and infrastructure most valued by the community, we’ll be reviewing our Cultural Plan again from 2025.
Arts and cultural program
Each year we deliver a rich program of both free and ticketed events, activities and exhibitions at different locations throughout the region for both our residents and visitors to enjoy.
Our award-winning Destination Event takes place across three weeks in autumn, drawing thousands of visitors from across Greater Perth with world-class arts experiences.
The extremely popular Community Art Exhibition lights up Lakeside Joondalup from late May, featuring up to 200 artworks by residents and members of local arts groups.
Always a sell-out, our Sunday Serenades concerts are staged at Prendiville Catholic College’s Redmond Theatre one Sunday afternoon every month from July to December.
There’s so much to celebrate when it comes to the rich history, culture, and many achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples that we extend our program of special events throughout July.
One of Perth’s most loved and looked forward to events for children, Little Feet Festival is a fabulous free day of fun, learning and creativity below the pines of ECU Joondalup for one Sunday in October.
Our long-running visual arts award for professional artists is exhibited every October within the suburban setting of a local shopping centre.
Bringing WA’s best bands and singers to the suburbs, our Music in the Park concerts are a great way to kick off the silly season as they pop up in local parks each November.
This blockbuster music event takes place on the Thursday before Valentine’s Day on the beautiful sweeping greens of Joondalup Resort.
