How do you picture the future of arts and culture in Fort Collins? Where do they fit in our community? How do you want to engage with the look, feel and entertainment of your city?
We are embarking on a journey to create a comprehensive Arts and Culture master plan, FoCo Creates, and we need you to build it with us!
Over the next 12-18 months, we need you to share your visions and priorities so we can create a plan to guide the development of arts and cultural for the next decade. A plan, not just for the city, but for the entire community that will enhance local arts and culture and increase our position as a creative destination.
REGISTER to start sharing your ideas and follow the progress of the plan! You can watch the timeline for public events and milestones plus reach out to City staff with questions.
A cultural plan is a chance for our community to create a vision for the future in Fort Collins. Because culture in a community is a collaborative process, we want to hear from you! Tell us what you would like to see addressed. You can also vote for ideas that are submitted by others.
Create artist villages around the city designated for artist to live and create at a lower price then market and make it a requirement of residents in said housing to perform around the city.
Host an annual Culture Night. It could be based on the Culture Night model in Belfast and around the world. It is Belfast's largest, most exciting and inclusive cultural celebration. Culture Night brings together over 300 free events across 150 locations in Belfast City Centre in a single day. The event attracts over 85,000 visitors from Belfast, Northern Ireland and beyond. We attended in 2016 and it was one of the most amazing events I've ever been to!
I love the use of buildings as screens to have rotating projected images. Something like "Blink" in Cincinnati. http://www.blinkcincinnati.com/
A game-changing source of revenue that can truly build and shape the institutions capacity for growth and sustainability. This needs to come from a community desire to INVEST in their cultural and arts institutions. It cannot be just another small project grant award. Proven providers need to be able to budget against staff and programming needs without scrambling each year to simply remain viable. The 501(c)(3) agencies are all underfunded and understaffed.
A multi-tiered networking tool consisting of an Events Calendar; a Listing of local artists/performers/creative businesses/venues; Arts Opportunities and a "Creative Spotlight" feature...a person, place or event to celebrate.
