Art Development’s Vision
By 2028, the arts will sit right at the heart of North Lanarkshire Council’s strategic planning. Arts will be fully embedded across sectors and recognised as a powerful force for tackling social issues and reducing inequalities. Our Arts Development team will be a key partner in shaping a brighter, more creative North Lanarkshire.
Curious about how we’ll make this happen? Dive into our strategy and see our plans come to life.
