Plan Background

Where We've
Come From

As part of its mission, the Arts
Commission created an initial five-
year Arts and Culture Plan that was
accepted by the Board of Aldermen
in November, 2014. This is an update
of that plan designed to provide a
framework for developing annual
priorities, securing human resources
and funding, and developing annual
work plans. Due to an interruption in
the normal cycle, this version is
intended to cover 2022 through
2027.

Introduction

Why an Arts and Culture Plan?

A vibrant arts scene is crucial to every
city: enhancing quality of life and ensuring
a strong stimulus to the economy.
