Search City Government Departments Business Community Home Departments Economic Development Arts & Culture Arts & Culture Commission Cultural Plan A A Cultural Plan History In RACC's first year of existence, it completed a comprehensive Cultural Needs Assessment to lay the groundwork for the development of a Cultural Master Plan. In 1993 the Commission retained AMS Planning and Research, and Barbara Kibbe Consulting for a continued planning phase. Community input was obtained from: a volunteer steering committee comprised of community leaders representing City government  arts and cultural organizations service clubs public schools and the community college businesses churches individual artists, and community focus group meetings with city government and civic leaders Phase III  In 1995-96 additional city funding for Phase III of the plan was received for resource development and an Art-in-Public Places ordinance which was approved in 1997. Since 1998 the commission has focused on increasing the role and access to the city's arts and cultural heritage programs. The Commission maintains an effective internal structure through annual professionally-facilitated strategic planning retreats. These retreats have resulted in the creation of an effective committee base, and City Council approval of a full-time staff position to coordinate and advance the implementation of the Cultural Plan.  Steering Committee  A steering committee, comprised of community leaders representing city government, business, arts and cultural organizations, service clubs, public schools, and the community college, churches, and individual artists, assisted with the planning process. The Cultural Plan's objectives were prioritized according to five criteria that guided the volunteer steering committee's decision-making:  Committed leadership to the champion implementation  Potential to involve multiple constituencies Involvement of existing cultural and art institutions Aim at reaching a diverse cross-section of the city's residents Sound economic policies and use of resources  Goals Four goals were recommended:  The committee's top priority goal concerned marketing and outreach. Specific programs were recommended to heighten awareness and visibility of the city's arts and cultural assets, including its resident arts and cultural organizations and individual artists. Suggested programs promoting the city's cultural life include: development of a newsletter used by city groups, and creation of a cooperative arts organization mailing list for use by the city's arts and cultural institutions pro-bono marketing and public relations assistance for Richmond artists' organizations creation of "Neighborhood Mini-Grants" program to provide funding for neighborhood councils and community-based groups to utilize Richmond artists and performing ensembles at local festivals and block parties Creating specific physical and signage improvements in the city's Civic Center and along its traffic corridors. Objectives include making the Civic Center more user-friendly, upgrading existing cultural facilities, improving access by the public, and sponsoring murals and other public art programs throughout the city's neighborhoods.  Recruitment of commissioners and volunteers, and creation of collaborative mailing lists and marketing projects. Creation of artwork-on-loan programs for local businesses featuring local artists, and an annual citywide exhibit to make for stronger links with artist service organizations throughout the Bay Area.  Working with the city's business community, arts and youth programs, neighborhood partnerships, and strengthening the relationship between the city's cultural groups and the Civic Center farmer's market held on Fridays. 2002 Cultural Plan Update (144kb Acrobat .PDF) 1994 Cultural Plan (69kb Acrobat .PDF) About RACC Cultural Plan Meetings Members Get Involved Contact Us Public Art in Richmond Resources Agenda Docs Weekly Report KCRT Youth Visit Richmond City Data --> Contact Us RICHMOND CITY HALL 450 Civic Center Plaza Richmond, CA 94804 Phone Directory Directions Sign Up For E-News Site Links City of Richmond Directory Richmond City Council CIty of Richmond Safety Depts/Comms Contra Costa County Superior Courts State Bar of California California Secretary of State /QuickLinks.aspx Government Websites by CivicPlus® Loading Loading Do Not Show Again Close Arrow Left Arrow Right [] Slideshow Left Arrow Slideshow Right Arrow Youth | Richmond, CA - Official Website Skip to Main Content Alert Road Closure: Barrett Ave from A St. to 7th St., starting 5/18/2026 More details Phishing Scam Alert – Emails Impersonating City Staff Read On...

A format for content distribution, RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS is a system that allows a user to get automatic updates from multiple websites whenever new content is published on these sites. It acts like a personal web reader by checking your selected sites regularly for new content. If you set up an RSS feed from the New York Times Sports section, for example, you would be notified whenever a new article was posted. The notification takes place in an RSS Reader. How do I start using RSS Feeds? To use a site’s RSS feature, an RSS reader is required. Choose an RSS reader. An internet search will return many options. Some readers are web-based, such as My Yahoo! . Web-based readers require no software installation and are accessible from any computer that has internet access. Other readers are downloadable applications, such as FeedDemon . Once you’ve chosen an RSS reader, follow the instructions to download, install, and open the reader. Decide what type of content you want the RSS reader to monitor. Many websites provide RSS, which can usually be found on those sites as a link. An orange button is often used to display the service’s availability. Sometimes the RSS feed is automatically added to the RSS reader and updates are sent every time new content is available. Alternatively, you may have to click the RSS link and copy it into your RSS reader. ▲ Back to top Live Edit Charter Redistricting Elections E-News Signup Municipal Code Richmond Coronavirus Info Streaming Video Weekly Announcements ADA Food Access Resources Agenda Docs Weekly Report KCRT Youth Visit Richmond City Data --> Contact Us RICHMOND CITY HALL 450 Civic Center Plaza Richmond, CA 94804 Phone Directory Directions Sign Up For E-News Site Links City of Richmond Directory Richmond City Council CIty of Richmond Safety Depts/Comms Contra Costa County Superior Courts State Bar of California California Secretary of State /QuickLinks.aspx Government Websites by CivicPlus® Loading Loading Do Not Show Again Close Arrow Left Arrow Right [] Slideshow Left Arrow Slideshow Right Arrow Business | Richmond, CA - Official Website Skip to Main Content Alert Road Closure: Barrett Ave from A St. to 7th St., starting 5/18/2026 More details Phishing Scam Alert – Emails Impersonating City Staff Read On...
