Launch of new cultural strategy for Manchester sparks an arts and culture re-set for the city!
Our CEO, Karen Shannon, spoke at the launch event for Always, Everywhere: Manchester's Cultural Ambition 2024-2034, held at Manchester Central Library.
The 12th of September 2024 marked the start of an arts and culture re-set for Manchester with the launch of a brand-new decade-long cultural strategy for the city.
Always, Everywhere: Manchester’s Cultural Ambition 2024 – 2034 has been shaped following conversations with local people living and working in the city, as well as input from cultural organisations, creatives, and others directly involved in culture and the arts.
The new cultural ambition set out in the strategy for the city is based on three different themes – everyone, everything, everywhere – aimed at giving everyone across Manchester the opportunity to enjoy and participate in culture and the arts.
At the launch, our CEO was invited to talk about the ‘Everything’ theme that is embedded in the new strategy. She said: “As we rethink the role of culture in Manchester, we must ensure that it’s deeply connected to the lives of everyday Mancunians. Culture has the power to connect us, inspire us, and help us navigate the challenges we face. This pillar of Everything will help ensure that culture remains relevant, inclusive, and reflective of the people and issues that matter.”
