Fredericton is a city of arts and culture that is rapidly growing and diversifying. The City of Fredericton Arts Plan will provide a renewed vision to help Fredericton grow as a creative community, sustain an energetic and supportive environment where artists and arts organizations thrive, and further strengthen Fredericton’s local economy.

The City of Fredericton's first Culture Plan was adopted by Council in 2014. Since then, the city as well as the broader arts and culture landscape has grown and diversified. The new Arts Plan is intended to define the future direction, policies, priorities, and actions for Fredericton’s creative ecosystem.

Meaningful community engagement is essential to ensure the plan reflects authentic and diverse perspectives, inspires everyday encounters with arts and culture, and helps create a new Arts Plan for Fredericton that feels like home.
