Across the greater Portland region, local governments are partnering to launch a cultural planning process and set the vision for the next generation of arts and culture in our communities. The effort is being led by staff from Portland's City Arts Program; Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties; the cities of Hillsboro and Beaverton; the Metro regional government, and the Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC).
Community members have been invited to connect to this process and shape our region's future of arts and culture. This is the first time that popular, contemporary music as a cultural sector has ever been invited to the table, and we need to hear from YOU! MusicPortland facilitated an incredible discussion in February – thanks to all who attended. Your participation provided a wealth of insight, and we want to hear more!
The following are *examples* of themes that came up in our first discussion.
Please share your thoughts and ideas – don't feel limited by the provided examples.
All input is welcome and encouraged!
