The Cockburn Community and Cultural Council was established in 1974 at the request of the then town clerk of Cockburn. The group has produced successful programmes and events within the city, with the goal to develop and sponsor promotion of the cultural heritage. Promoting artistic and leisure-time activities by the various groups which it represents, CCCC manages, promotes and coordinates events (which also includes funding). CCCC puts on the Annual Arts and Craft Exhibition and Sale of Work every year.
Group was commenced in 1974 to develop artistic talents of local artists and craftsmen, and to promote them with sales and exhibitions within the City of COCKBURN. Many groups have had their beginning with this group including Camera Club, Wine Makers, Spinners, China Club Croatian Fundraisers, City of Cockburn Pipe Band CWA and many other clubs. They were able to establish the growth within the City of Cockburn and have now moved on. Classes for Youth Development with qualified local teachers continually conduct these programmes as well as classes for special needs youth were conducted at the Jean Willis Centre for 2 years. Over 40 years of Annual Arts & Crafts Exhibitions have been conducted with many artist community members advancing their skills in many areas. ADVERTISING is promoted within the local area with support from local paper, industries and the City of Cockburn and other interested sponsors!
