Background
Identified by Council in its 2021- 2026 Corporate Plan as a key action, Somerset Regional Council is developing a five year Arts and Culture Strategy to outline future goals, plans and themes for enhancing artistic, cultural and heritage-related opportunities and experiences in the Somerset region.
