Ivanhoe Library and Cultural Hub

Ivanhoe Library and Cultural Hub celebrates the role of Council and community coming together in the spirit of cultural expression and exchange. This is an inclusive place where people are inspired to think, to study, to create and to enjoy an enriching program of cultural and learning experiences.

Our Vision for the Hub:
Something for everyone, all under one roof, all year round

The hub includes several arts spaces designed to encourage creativity and collaboration, and showcase artistic endeavours.

Yarra-me Djila Theatrette

A dynamic space for talks and performances, connected to a landscaped outdoor amphitheatre at Ivanhoe Library and Cultural Hub. 'Yarra-me Djila' means 'open play' in the Woiwurrung language

Our arts and culture program will provide a dynamic mix of events, activities and performance together with outstanding resources and art exhibitions to create an inclusive, community-centred creative hub that welcomes everyone and transforms the Ivanhoe Civic Precinct into a cultural destination.

Long Live the Book

19 Sep 2020 Jodi Wiley is a Melbourne artist who is interested in the themes of nostalgia, memory, place and the way we make meaning from personal narratives. She works primarily in acrylic and watercolour. Personal book collections serve as a kind of autobiography and sometimes, for the incurable bibliophile, they’re hard to cull.
