OFFICE of CULTURAL AFFAIRS UPDATES...


CREATIVE COLUMBIA...In 1993, Columbia’s first ever cultural plan was
developed after extensive community consultation. Since then, periodic
updates have been generated to keep the plan current. In 2010, one such
revision is taking place. Make your opinions and suggestions known by
completing a short online survey at www.GoColumbiaMo.com/Arts (look for
the “public input” link at the top of the page). If you prefer to
complete a paper copy of the survey, contact the city’s Office of
Cultural Affairs to have one sent to you: 573-874-6386 or
oca at GoColumbiaMo.com.
