The Arts and Culture Strategy Update (2025-2029) is an update to the Arts and Culture Strategy (2018-2023) identifying new priorities for facilities and programs for the next five years.
This Update was directed and guided by the Arts and Culture Advisory Committee (ACAC) who served as community ambassadors to actively promote the arts community’s involvement in the planning process and act as a focus group to assist during the engagement process in 2024. The Update builds on the previous Strategy by reconvening arts and culture groups; reaffirming the vision and values for arts and culture in West Vancouver; addressing current challenges and opportunities; and setting priorities for the next five years.
The previous Arts and Culture Strategy (2018-2023) as well as a Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, and Results (SOAR) analysis (2017) and the Facilities Needs Assessment (2018) summarize what was heard from the community, supplemented by background research and analysis.
