Four goals for San Marcos arts and culture emerged throughout the engagement process: • Make San Marcos a leading destination for arts and culture; • Foster an inclusive culture that celebrates all races/ethnicities in San Marcos; • Foster the continued growth of arts and culture organizations to where their impact can be felt throughout the City; and • Create a culture of collaboration and a sense that everyone has a seat at the table. The following five strategies are indicated in the plan to help achieve these goals. • Centralize resources;

• Support the underserved; • Enhance current resources; • Plan for the future; and • Update the Art in Public Places Policy.
