Arts Policy

"The Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation confirms its mandate in the arts and recognizes the arts as an essential element in a vital, creative and balanced city and seeks to actively facilitate participation in and access to the arts for all." - Vancouver Park Board Arts Policy Mandate

In 2003, the Park Board reviewed its Arts Policy. After researching the field of community arts and consulting with stakeholders, a renewed Arts Policy was adopted which affirmed that the Board will continue its role in community cultural development and in partnerships which celebrate the arts in everyday life.
