The City of Boerne has engaged Keen Independent to create an Arts and Culture Master Plan to guide the City in supporting its creatives and enhancing the community's quality of life through arts and culture.

‍

To complete the Arts and Culture Master Plan, Keen Independent will conduct:

‍

• Background research, which includes learning about Boerne’s history and heritage;
• Mapping and inventory of existing assets;
• In-person and virtual public engagement;
• Assessment of the community’s arts and culture needs; and
• Analysis of other City plans and how the Arts and Culture Master Plan can contribute to current City initiatives.
