Wiltshire Cultural Strategy Consultation


Wiltshire Council is leading on the creation of a Cultural Strategy for the county. The purpose of the strategy is to enable every part of the cultural sector to work together to focus energy and resources upon a set of shared objectives that will transform the cultural offer and deliver real benefits for the communities of Wiltshire.

A consultation paper has been developed through a process of small group consultation led by Wiltshire Council Arts Service and through an Open Space event in November 2011 led by Creative Ecology Wiltshire. This consultation paper proposes a definition of culture as well as identifying the building blocks for a vision for culture in Wiltshire.

The initial consultation has brought forward a set of five priorities and proposes that it is through the sector working collaboratively that these priorities will be delivered. The five priorities are:

  • Leadership and Flexibility
  • The Cultural Economy
  • Communication and Audience Development
  • Working Together and Raising Quality
  • Growing the Sector and Developing the Offer
This second phase of consultation is an opportunity to shape the vision for culture and to consider whether the priorities identified are the most important for the cultural sector in Wiltshire.

Please do take a little time to tell us what you think - deadline for responses is 30 September 2012
