The Boulder Community Cultural Plan was unanimously adopted by the City Council, providing a framework for city support of the arts in our community:
Our shared vision: “Together, we will craft Boulder’s social, physical, and cultural environment to include creativity as an essential ingredient for the well-being, prosperity, and joy of everyone in the community.”
