Help Grow Burlington’s Culture! We need your input on the 10-year Burlington Culture Plan.

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

You’re invited to attend an upcoming event or virtual session and be sure to take the survey! Your input will guide how we support, grow and celebrate arts and culture in our city.

More engagement opportunities will be added throughout the summer! Subscribe to this page to receive project updates and news by email.


Public Engagement Opportunities

Online Survey

What does culture mean to you? Tell us what programs you want to see, what services you support and where you’d invest in arts and culture. Your input will help shape the future of Burlington’s Culture Plan. Please fill out the survey by Sunday, Aug. 31, 2025.

Culture Jam Workshops

Members of Burlington’s arts and culture community are invited to join us for a half-day workshop. This session will bring together artists, makers, cultural organizations, community groups, and festival organizers to share their vision for Burlington’s Culture Plan. Culture Jams will feature storytelling, art breaks, food and community-building activities. This is your chance to explore shared hopes, needs, and concerns as we build a vibrant and inclusive arts and culture scene in Burlington. RSVP to a Jam session to let us know you're coming!
