The Arts
Long regarded as the culture capital of Australia, Melbourne has always been a city
for artists and art lovers. Its thriving live-music scene, strong community of street
artists, and passion for literature, theatre and visual arts all provide a vibrant, creat-
ive backdrop fundamental to the fabric of the city. Art in Melbourne is highly access-
ible, both for the number of its art spaces as well as its appeal to a broad audience.
Flinders Lane has the densest concentration of commercial galleries in Australia, with many more dotted
throughout the city and inner suburbs.
