Music and Arts

Pursuits of creative expression, storytelling, and cultural participation are essential for the development and wellbeing of young people in the City of Burnside. These creative pursuits foster self-expression, creativity, and emotional resilience, helping young people to develop increased self-confidence and improved mental health.

Furthermore, the arts build social skills and a sense of community. Participating in group activities like bands, choirs, and art projects helps young people develop teamwork and communication skills, fostering positive relationships and a sense of belonging. Exposure to diverse artistic pursuits broadens horizons and cultivates an appreciation for different cultures, promoting inclusivity and empathy.

The City of Burnside is proud to offer programs such as the Youth Concert Band and the Youth Art Intensive, providing enriching experiences that spark lifelong passions and open doors to various careers. By supporting these programs, we invest in a vibrant, dynamic, and inclusive future for the youth of our community. We are open to exploring other creative pursuits with young people in the City of Burnside, so if you have an idea please get in touch.
