Lovers of art and culture are not likely to get bored quickly in Spijkenisse. Many shows are staged at the town's theatre 'De Stoep', ranging from cabaret to dance and from plays to music. Courses are also given at 'De Stoep', in dance, music, theatre, painting, drawing, design and audio-visual techniques.

The annually held the serveral days lasting 'Spijkenissefestival', caters for fans of popular music. The festival regularly succeeds in attracting famous artists. In the context of the municipality's policy on art, work is in progress to set up a pop podium where local bands will be given the opportunity to display their skills.

Art is to be found in the public spaces of Spijkenisse. These have been decorated with works of art and represent prominent landmarks that reinforce the image and unity of the town.
