Towards A Cultural Policy Framework

This is your invitation to join your arts, culture, and heritage community colleagues in a province-wide conversation about the development of a cultural policy framework for British Columbia.

The BC Alliance for Arts + Culture and ArtsBC are holding a province-wide series of Community Cultural Roundtables. These Roundtables are part of the BC Creative Convergence project launched by the Alliance for Arts + Culture in 2013.

The Roundtables will focus on a Cultural Policy Discussion Paper which will be posted to this website at the beginning of March. This Discussion Paper will address:

• What local and regional issues should be reflected in a Cultural Policy;
• How a Cultural Policy could recognize the economic and social impact of cultural activities;
• How a Cultural Policy should acknowledge the historic and contemporary importance of the multicultural diversity of BC’s communities;
• How a Cultural Policy could impact the relationships between the sector and the provincial government and its ministries and agencies.

The Community Cultural Roundtable series is your opportunity to bring your personal, local, and regional perspectives to this important provincial initiative.
