BOSTON – Organizers of City Hall's cultural planning initiative, Boston Creates, reached out for feedback on a draft plan to develop and sustain Boston's diverse arts community over the next decade, pushing toward a release of the final version next month.
Headed by Julie Burros, the chief of the city's office of arts and culture, the plan was outlined after months of meetings with community members at local events, starting with the Boston Creates Town Hall in June 2015. The staff pooled the collected data and inputs to find the areas of greatest concern for the community, and created a plan that focuses on a reasonable approach to Boston's cultural needs.
