The Municipality supports a thriving, inclusive arts ecosystem that enhances community engagement and well-being through creative expression. As such, we developed a five-year strategy that will help build a solid foundation for our Art and Culture community.
The Arts & Culture Strategy outlines six priorities, each with actionable items, that can be found on Engage Chester, our public engagement website.
Priorities in the 5-Year Strategy:
- Integrate and prioritize arts and culture in municipal planning
- Build cultural leadership and capacity
- Leverage creative sector for cultural tourism opportunities
- Embed equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility in arts and culture sector planning
- Build community by strengthening arts and culture programming
- Improve public spaces, cultural infrastructure and access to spaces
