A six-member Commissioner working group was established to guide the planning process, review feedback, and provide iterative input on plan development.
Throughout the spring and summer of 2025, Arts Commission staff and board members visited communities across the state to host a series of 90-minute facilitated discussions about the roles the arts play in our lives and communities.
