City Of Portsmouth: City Council Approves Cultural Plan

Press release from the City of Portsmouth:

“Cultural planning is a process of inclusive community consultation and decision-making and in this instance was designed to help Portsmouth’s leaders identify cultural resources and think strategically about how these resources can help the community to achieve its civic goals and create a rich cultural environment for all,” commented Committee chairs Russ Grazier and Barbara Massar. “For Portsmouth to remain a vibrant and compelling cultural destination, we knew the updated Cultural Plan had to be built through a comprehensive, inclusive, and collaborative effort by citizens, business owners, and civic leaders. We believe the final Cultural Plan reflects the voices of citizens from across our community, from avid art lovers to those who simply want a say in the kind of community they’d like to live in. We look forward to watching how the plan works in creating guidelines and ideas for the new Arts & Cultural Commission and the next Citywide Master Plan.”
