Thank you for your input

Thank you to everyone who took the time to read the draft cultural plan and provide comments.

In a short time, we received an incredible amount of very thoughtful feedback. We saw more than 3500 views of the online plan and more than 250 people shared their thoughts. This reinforces what we already knew: people are engaged and enthusiastic about a strategic vision and framework for the arts in Boston. This is critical as the implementation of the plan will depend on your engagement and support.

While the public comment period is closed, you can still read the draft plan online here. You can also download a PDF version of the plan here. Over the next few weeks, the Boston Creates team will be reviewing all of the feedback. Boston’s cultural plan will officially launch on June 17, 2016 and then work will get underway as we aim to align people, ideas and resources around a shared vision for arts, culture, and creativity.

The effort has already begun, as evidenced by the excitement and energy around the process. The launch of the plan will truly be the beginning of a cultural shift for our city, where we all embrace and encourage greater inclusivity, collaboration, leadership and resources in support of the arts and culture sector. We can’t wait to get started.
