Pyhäjoki Culture Services
Pyhäjoki Culture Department organises cultural events within its own municipality, either independently or in close cooperation with organisations, neighbouring municipalities and a number of private individuals. In addition to events open to everyone, the Culture Department takes performances to early childhood education and care centres, schools and the sheltered home. The Culture Department also warmly welcomes visitors to events in Pyhäjoki!
Art groups at Raahe Adult Education Centre enable and vitalise the cultural offering in Pyhäjoki with regard to visual arts and amateur theatre. Ylivieskan seudun musiikkiopisto music institute provides basic teaching in music. the Pauhasali Auditorium at Pyhäjoki Upper Secondary School serves as a performance venue for concerts and plays alike.
