Like a songwriter tweaking lyrics or a photographer editing images, public partners in greater Portland are refining a vision that will shape arts and culture investments for the next decade – and you can help.
On March 25, cultural planners released a draft of Our Creative Future: a shared vision for arts and culture in the Portland tri-county region, with flexible strategies and actions that can be tailored to meet the needs of participating municipalities. This draft plan builds on community engagement and extensive research that was conducted last year.
Community members are invited to sharpen and refine the vision and goals for the shared creative future mapped out in the draft plan. Here's how you can share your feedback.
Review and Comment Online
Access the plan online (you'll be asked to provide an email address) and share your feedback by April 15.
Town Hall meetings
A town hall meeting was held on Wednesday, April 3, from 4-6 p.m. at theNative American Student and Community Center at Portland State University.
A virtual town hall meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 9, from 6-8 p.m.
You can also learn more about the community engagement and research results behind this plan, as well as the committee's working definitions of equity, diversity, and inclusion at ourcreativefuture.org.
Community feedback will be accepted through April 15. A final plan will be presented to Portland City Council and other participating jurisdictions in May.
