City of Santa Clarita 2035 Arts Plan: Vision and Development
The City of Santa Clarita Arts Commission is proud to announce the launch of the 2035 Arts Plan: Vision and Development, a 10-year strategic roadmap that will guide the growth of arts and culture in the City. Building upon the successes of the 2016 Arts Master Plan and previous cultural planning efforts, this new plan will reflect the evolving needs of Santa Clarita’s creative community and ensure a vibrant, inclusive cultural future. Based on stakeholder and community input, this plan is intended to be a guiding document for City Council, the Arts Commission, staff, and the arts community.
This new plan continues Santa Clarita’s long-standing commitment to supporting arts and culture. It builds upon a series of foundational documents, including:
- The 1997 and 1998 Cultural Arts Master Plan
- The Arts Blueprint Phases I and II (2013)
- The 2016 Arts Master Plan and its 2021 update
- Contributions from the Arts Commission, formed in 2009
With a focus on innovation, equity, and sustainability, the 2035 Arts Plan will address:
- Public art development and planning
- Arts education and youth engagement
- Support for artists and nonprofit arts organizations
- Cultural facilities, venues, and creative spaces
- Funding, marketing, and the creative economy
- Diversity, inclusion, and community representation
Key goals of the plan include:
- Strengthening existing recommendations from prior planning documents
- Enhancing cultural offerings through new ideas and strategic investment
- Optimizing City structure for effective arts support
- Fostering community engagement through surveys, events, and open dialogue
Santa Clarita has a rich cultural legacy, from the launch of the Cowboy Festival in 1994 to its popular Concerts in the Park series. Through initiatives like this Arts Plan, the City continues to embrace the arts as essential to its identity and future.
