The City of Brampton is developing a Culture Master Plan to establish a community-driven vision for arts and culture that will guide and focus the policies, programs, services and investments needed over the next 10 years to make Brampton a place where community art and creative industries can thrive. As artists in the Brampton community, it is important to them that they receive your input.

A representative from the Culture Master Plan team will be at the Visual Arts Brampton studio on Wednesday, February 21 from 11am to 1pm and Saturday March 17 from 11am to 1pm to give members and visitors an opportunity to take the survey and ask any questions they may have regarding the Culture Master Plan.
