On November 17, 2015, City Council voted unanimously and with much enthusiasm to adopt the Community Cultural Plan. We continue to work towards progress on our shared vision for culture:
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.
