From April to July 2024, we consulted on our draft Arts and Culture Strategy 2024 – 2029. The results of the consultation (PDF) are on our website as part of the Executive Committee papers. There was strong support (82%) for the vision “Central Bedfordshire: where arts and culture thrives and communities flourish.” The Council aims to encourage a vibrant and inclusive cultural landscape in Central Bedfordshire that enriches the lives of its residents, fosters community cohesion, improves wellbeing, nurtures artistic excellence, and drives economic growth.
The Executive made a decision on 1 October 2024 to approve the Arts and Culture Strategy.
