Cultural planning is a great tool for bringing a diverse array of stakeholders into alignment around arts and culture priorities. Well-constructed processes that are community- and data-driven can yield impressive long-term results that foster the health and vitality of your community’s arts and cultural assets and create opportunity for broader community development. 

Join Arts Cleveland staff as they discuss their new resource to the field, Elevating the Influence of Arts and Culture: A Cleveland Playbook, which documents their cultural plan journey, including how they engaged community members and elected officials, built strategic partnerships, and their frustrations and triumphs along the way.

Learning Objectives

  • Attendees will learn the development and implementation of Arts Cleveland’s cultural plan.
  • Attendees will learn tips and tricks as they consider starting their own cultural planning process and strategy. 
  • Attendees will learn some immediate next steps they can take to set themselves up for cultural planning success.
