City to Host Two Meetings Focused on Arts, Culture and Heritage Strategy, July 20-21

July 14, 2020 — The City of Wilsonville is hosting two virtual meetings online the week of July 20 focused on development of an Arts, Culture and Heritage Strategy. Both meetings are open to the public; each provides an opportunity for public comment.

All Wilsonville-area youth are invited to participate in the Youth Advisory Committee that is scheduled to meet on Monday, July 20, 1-2 pm.

The meeting seeks to solicit suggestions from younger members of the community for their vision of a vibrant and diverse cultural scene in Wilsonville. Questions to be posed for consideration include “What makes Wilsonville Wilsonville? What are the challenges/barriers to you or others participating in local culture?”

The larger Arts, Culture and Heritage Strategy Task Force meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 21, 1-2:30 pm.

City community development consultant Bill Flood is scheduled to review initial findings on municipal survey results, youth thoughts on culture and relevant citations to other City master plans and strategies. Members of the task force will be assigned to various Cultural Assets Inventory Committees to review results of two current online surveys that remain open through July 31

The Arts, Culture and Heritage Strategy, a City Council 2019-21 Goal, seeks to provide recommendations to the City Council for cultivating a sustainable, long-term plan that supports community aspirations for a vibrant cultural scene in Wilsonville.
