Vancouver City Council has recommended the establishment of a committee which will advise on all civic programs that relate to arts and culture.
This new committee will provide advice to Council and staff on the arts and culture sector. Once established, the Arts and Culture Advisory Committee will:
• develop strategy and process for responding to Vancouver’s arts and culture organizations,
• improve communications within the arts and culture community,
• optimize cultural tourism,
• develop new and enhance existing arts partnerships, and
• provide input into goals and principles for key programs such as grants, public art and cultural facilities.

Hello C of V Cultural Services, I enjoyed the first workshop at the Cultch for the upcoming Advisory Committee. I understand that a 3 year committment is required to run for membership. What would a more detailed time committment look like? For example, would a monthly 3 hour meeting with some homework be in the ballpark? Thank You.
