Arts and Culture in Burlington

Burlington Culture Plan

We are developing a new Culture Plan to guide the next decade of how arts and culture grows in our city. This plan will take us to the year 2036 and help shape the future of Burlington’s arts and culture programs, services and investments. The Culture Plan will build a future that is vibrant, inclusive and rooted in our community.

Tell Us What You Think

We need you to be a part of creating this new plan. By connecting with you, the residents, artists, cultural professionals, organizations and communities across Burlington, we can build a plan together that is based on what matters most to Burlington.

Public Engagement Opportunities

There are many ways for you to share your ideas for arts and culture in Burlington. Over the next six months, our team will be connecting with residents, artists, cultural professionals, organizations and communities across the city.
