Arts & Culture Strategy 2019-2024
Co Delivery Report June 2021
The Arts & Culture strategy is designed to complement Council's Tourism Strategy and Integrated Economic Development Strategy. It has been aligned with the outcomes identified within the Strategic Growth plan and is cognisant of the wider strategic and cross border environment. The consultation process for the strategy was based on a co-design methodology to promote creativity and collaboration.
We worked together to create this strategy and we will work together to deliver it. We will involve representatives from our audiences and participants, the voluntary, community and private sectors, the arts and culture sector, other relevant statutory bodies, agencies and support organisations from across the North West co-ordinated by Derry City and Strabane District Council in partnership with Donegal County Council. This will ensure every aspect of the strategy continues to be practical and achievable and meets local needs.
Next Steps
1. We have recruited a broad-based of members for a co-delivery network/ forum from audiences; communities; Derry City and Strabane District Council elected members and staff; and the arts and culture sector and reflecting Section 75 groups clustered around the six aims of this strategy:
• Engaging citizens and growing audience
• Delivering quality programme, product and practice.
• Making our marketing and communications integrated, effective and ambitious.
• Investment in the potential of our creative citizens and sector.
• Strengthening the cultural infrastructure and grow employment opportunities.
• Demonstrating and communicating the difference that our community makes.
