The City of Burlington is working with our Culture Boards to develop a new Culture Plan! This plan will guide the City through the next decade (2026–2036) of artistic and cultural growth and 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. 

We need you to be a part of creating this new plan. By connecting with you, the residents, artists, cultural workers, organizations and communities across the city, we can build a plan together that is grounded in what matters most to Burlington. Your voice is essential to shaping an arts and culture future that belongs to everyone.
