The council's continuing commitment to the provision of quality arts and cultural programs for children has seen the ArtPlay program grow.
ArtPlay is located in the heart of the city next to the Yarra River. The red brick warehouse is the remaining building of the Melbourne rail yards. Inside ArtPlay there are large open spaces and plenty of natural light suitable for creative activities and exhibitions.
