Clarence Valley Council is pleased to announce the release of the official program for the 2026 Plunge Arts & Culture Festival, the region's premier month-long celebration of creativity and culture.
Running throughout April, Plunge offers a diverse program of more than 120 events, including exhibitions, performances, workshops and hands-on experiences, taking place across the Clarence Valley.
The free 84-page Plunge program gives locals and visitors everything they need to dive head-first into arts and culture. Printed copies are available from Council offices, libraries, galleries and selected arts and cultural businesses, with a digital version available online at www.clarence.nsw.gov.au/plunge.
The festival showcases the work of Clarence Valley artists, makers, performers, volunteers, community groups and small businesses, while supporting the growth and sustainability of the local arts and culture sector. Since 2013, more than 2,000 events have received free promotion and exposure through the Plunge program.
Clarence Valley Mayor Ray Smith encouraged the community to pick up a program and explore what's on offer.
"Plunge is part of a year-round initiative by Clarence Valley Council that builds skills, connections and opportunities across the region's creative industries, contributing to liveability, civic pride and community connection.
"Plunge is a chance to try something new, celebrate our talented creative community and enjoy everything arts and culture bring to the Clarence Valley," Cr Smith said.
