Are you interested in how arts and culture in public spaces can shape our lives? So are we.
At City People, we believe that people have enriching lives when they are connected with each other and the places they live, work and visit.
When we experience diverse cultural elements of a place – such as its community, physical character and enduring narratives (past and future) – we can build deep connections with it.
This is why we love creating arts experiences that are imaginative, challenging, delightful and most importantly, rooted in the specific community and place. These experiences create a well-loved place or destination for residents, workers and visitors, and forge its identity.
For over fifteen years, the City People team has been at the forefront in the strategy and implementation of culture-led placemaking for some of the most visited precincts in Australia.

Our services
We plan and implement arts and cultural programs that build stronger communities and better places.
Importantly in recent years, City People has also led the development of evaluation methods that guide how this value can be measured and its benefits demonstrated.
This is our work and we love it:
- Arts and cultural strategy
- Culture-led placemaking
- Arts programming, producing and creation
- Project implementation
Having worked in the public sector, the private sector and in the arts and cultural sectors, we also know there is a real need for people who can think on a broad strategic level, plan on a local informed level and implement projects at a fine detail level.
We have the skills, network and experience to work across this whole spectrum.
