The City has initiated an Arts, Culture and Public Art Strategy. The Strategy will set the path forward for Cornwall to become a destination for the arts showcasing and celebrating the diverse cultures in Cornwall. The Strategy will provide direction on incorporating public art in the City, particularly the waterfront.
The Arts, Culture and Public Art Strategy will be developed over the next few months through broad based community engagement, with an aim to present to Council by the end of the year.
There will be many opportunities to share your thoughts to help shape the Strategy. Over the coming month the team is looking forward to hearing from you through:
