This report invites the Executive Member for Economy and Culture to adopt the York Cultural Strategy on behalf of the city.

The strategy sets a clear direction for arts, heritage and cultural development, placing culture at the heart of York’s economic, social and civic future.  It describes how culture shapes how the city functions, how people create and engage with it, and how York’s culture attracts talent and investment to benefit residents across all our communities. In addition, it sets the clear ambition that York will be the first city to achieve cultural entitlement for all children and young people, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds and with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
