The cabinet endorsed the Birmingham Cultural Compacts’ approach to supporting the city’s cultural economy and cultural engagement particularly the proposed Cultural Strategy objectives including where the city council can contribute to the delivery of the strategy.
The six main Pillars (themes) of the strategy are:
- The Creative City – strengthening investment in Birmingham’s cultural economy by unlocking new funding sources.
- A Brand for Creativity – understanding the role our culture plays in the image of our city at home and abroad.
- Made in Birmingham – investing in talent development and workforce training to ensure a robust pipeline for creative professionals.
- The Placemakers – expand and protect cultural spaces and places across the city by integrating culture into urban planning and regeneration.
- Culture for the People – prioritising diversity, equity and inclusion in cultural programming. Ensure culture delivers against priorities such as sustainability and health and wellbeing.
- Magnets and Moonshots – showcase Birmingham as a global destination by growing our key areas of existing cultural activity.
Each Pillar has proposed objectives (Actions).
