Our Goals
The BC Coalition of Arts, Culture, and Heritage is working together to advocate for the following goals:
Transformational Change for BC's Arts, Culture, and Heritage Sector.
This is a moment of change that includes a vision for inclusive and clean growth, sustainable foundations, and actions to address the health and climate emergencies that impact the heart and soul of the economic stability of our province.

A Sustainable, Inclusive, and Vibrant Future.
In the immediate term, our sector needs sustainable funding, but it also needs a new, visionary community-driven action plan to ensure that the future of the arts, culture, and heritage sector is built on the foundational principles of inclusive, green, and equitable growth.

Many Voices, Speaking With a Shared Message
British Columbia's arts, culture, and heritage sector is a massive employer, economic driver, and trusted source for community education but rarely receives the attention of the government. The BC Coalition of Arts, Culture, and Heritage hopes to change this and advocate for a more sustainable future for our sector.
