The Community Cultural Equity Plan is a guide for how Culver City will support and grow arts, culture, and creativity in our community. It focuses on fairness (equity), making sure everyone has access to the arts, and celebrating the unique voices of our city.
It helps the City invest in arts programs and projects.
It gives local artists and organizations opportunities to share their work.
It connects people from different neighborhoods and backgrounds through creativity.
It ensures our community’s history and culture are honored while planning for the future.
We are inviting professionals to submit proposals to help create the Community Cultural Equity Plan.
