The Council-endorsedArtWorks: Richmond Arts Strategy 2019-2024 (the Strategy) was developed through extensive community engagement, guidance and consultation to help guide the City's actions in making Richmond a city with a thriving arts scene that animates the city every day; offers rich arts education and experiences, festivals and events; fosters social connections and wellness; builds arts and culture leadership; and provides creative spaces. The purpose of this annual report is to provide a comprehensive overview of City arts programs and activities in 2024 that contribute to fulfilling the directions of the Strategy. This report supports Council's Strategic Plan 2022-2026 Focus Area #6 A Vibrant, Resilient and Active Community: Vibrant, resilient and active communities supported by a wide variety of opportunities to get involved, build relationships and access resources. 6.1 Advance a variety of program, services, and community amenities to support diverse needs and interests and activate the community. 6.3 Foster intercultural harmony, community belonging, and social connections. 6. 5 Enhance and preserve arts and heritage assets in the community. Analysis The Strategy provides Five Strategic Directions to guide the City and its stakeholders' involvement in supporting the arts sector and ensuring a thriving and visible arts scene in Richmond: 1. Ensure affordable and accessible arts for all; 2. Promote inclusivity and diversity in the arts; 3. Invest in the arts; 4. Increase awareness and participation in the arts; and 5. Activate public spaces through (and for) the aiis. These strategic directions create a foundation and help to ensure the City is purposeful in its continued advancement of the arts in the community and that the arts play a strong role in place making, community building, tourism, health and social well-being, economic development and more.
