Arts and Culture Master Plan

Golden is home to cultural institutions that inspire connections within the community. Arts and culture play an important role in the city’s economy, improve quality of life, and educate and enlighten people living and visiting Golden.

With this in mind, the City of Golden has engaged Keen Independent to create an Arts and Culture Strategic Master Plan, which will serve as a framework for cultivating art, culture and creativity in Golden. Keen Independent is a national research firm that combines expertise in equity and economics with lived arts and cultural leadership. The study team will conduct extensive stakeholder and community engagement, visit and document Golden’s cultural assets and assess the City's needs to complete the plan by August 2023.

Community Meeting

Residents of Golden participated in a discovery meeting on Tuesday, April 18 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at the Golden Community Center to learn more about the study and provide input through different family-friendly brainstorming activities.

Community members are also invited to participate in a virtual workshop. Similar to a survey, the virtual workshop takes about 10 minutes to complete and is available until May 22, 2023.

Those unable to participate in the public meeting or virtual workshop may provide input to Keen Independent by phone or email:
