What is culture in our city? Culture embraces what defines us as a community and begins with our unique sense of place and identity, going beyond the arts and programming.

Culture is who we are and how we live. We are a rapidly evolving and growing ‘edge city’ with a strong community aspiration to preserve, celebrate and leverage our rural and agricultural heritage. Surrounded by natural beauty and incredible mountain vistas, we are known for our small town atmosphere that celebrates a full range of outdoor culture, arts and heritage. We have a dynamic arts, photography, theatre and culture scene.

They offer a wealth of opportunities to immerse yourself with new ideas, explore new points of view and maybe even change your outlook on life. The arts represent an outlet of expression that is usually influenced by culture and which in turn helps to change culture. As such, the arts are a physical manifestation of the internal creative impulse. Major constituents of the arts include literature – including photography, poetry, novels and short stories and epics; performing arts – among them music, dance and theatre; culinary arts such as baking, chocolatiering, and winemaking; media arts like photography and cinematography and visual arts – including drawing, painting, ceramics and sculpting.

Some art forms combine a visual element with performance (e.g. film) and the written word (e.g. comics).

From prehistoric cave paintings to modern day films, art serves as a vessel for storytelling and conveying humankind's relationship with its environment.
