Office of Cultural Affairs presents first look at new cultural plan

The Office of Cultural Affairs is sharing a look at a draft of the City’s new cultural plan and wants your input! Over the course of a year, input from nearly 8,000 Dallasites throughout the entire city helped shape the plan. Now, that feedback has been incorporated into a draft cultural policy and Dallas Cultural Plan 2018 that will be presented to the public in a series of public feedback and activation meetings from September 6 – 11, 2018.

In hundreds of meetings, interviews, webinars, surveys and focus groups, the Dallas Cultural Plan 2018—the first since 2002—analyzed the city’s cultural assets and priorities, determined how Dallas residents experience culture in their daily lives, and now gives recommendations for key strategies moving forward. These public meetings will not only allow the public to give comments on the plan and policy, but more importantly, will also engage the public in the activation of the strategies and tactics recommended by the plan.

“Dallas already has an amazing arts scene and arts community – it has grown tremendously and there is something to do and see and experience artistically every day and in every part of Dallas, “said Mayor Mike Rawlings. “However, we need to think about the future to continue our support and further grow the arts. This cultural plan will guide our planning for that.”

Six city-wide meetings and one webinar will be held between September 6 and September 11, 2018 at locations across the city:
