WE NEED:

An update of the Richmond 300 Plan that includes a robust vision for the arts.

A new regional Arts and Culture Master Plan.
To create an independent, cabinet-level Office of Cultural Affairs.

To empower the Public Arts Commission to realize the full Public Art Master Plan.

To establish affordable housing and studio spaces.

Simplified permitting processes and adjusted zoning laws.

More funding opportunities for artists and arts organizations.

More information about how these needs can be achieved can be found here.

The next mayor has an opportunity to define a city-wide vision for the arts and address these needs. Join us in adding your name in support of the arts in Richmond.
