British Columbia seeks a qualified consultant or firm to facilitate the collaborative update and development of its arts strategy. The project involves a comprehensive review of the existing strategy to reflect significant changes in the community and arts sector.

The selected consultant will work closely with local arts stakeholders to identify what aspects of the current strategy should be adjusted, changed, added, or removed. Key responsibilities include conducting background research on the current context and funding model for arts organizations, and guiding a co-created process that results in an updated vision and actionable roadmap for the sector’s future.

Active engagement and sustained collaboration with the arts sector are central to this initiative. The consultant will lead stakeholder engagement, building strong relationships and ensuring consistent communication throughout the project. The ultimate goal is to produce an arts strategy that is responsive, inclusive, and capable of guiding the ongoing development of British Columbia’s arts community.
