CULTURAL FACILITIES FOR THE FUTURE
Join the City of Vancouver as we explore opportunities and strategies 
for developing arts and culture facilities for the future.

 From November 2007 to May 2008, the City is undertaking a cultural 
facility study working with Artscape Consultants out of Toronto. This 
study is intended to deliver a “Facilities Priorities Plan” that 
articulates cultural place and space priorities for the next 15 years, 
as well as strategies for how the City, working with community, 
government and private partners, can realize those priorities. The 
Cultural Facilities Priorities Plan ties into the larger Creative City 
Conversation and draft Culture Plan currently under development. The 
Facilities Priorities Plan will be a key aspect of the Culture Plan 
implementation.

ARTS AND CULTURE SPACE DEMAND SURVEYS
This January and February 2008, Artscape will be surveying arts and 
cultural organizations and individual artists/creators to assess current 
and future space demand. Please consider completing one of the two 
surveys below. It should take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.
