FATTAH: Cultural Representation in City Government

I have pledged to re-establish the city’s Office of Arts and Culture to work in partnership with the city’s existing tourism and economic development infrastructure to make sure that arts and cultural development is done as part of an overall economic development strategy that benefits Philadelphia’s tourism industry.

This office will serve as a single point of contact within city government for arts and cultural organizations and will provide leadership and a strategic vision for arts and culture city-wide. The Office of Arts and Culture will also be tasked with overseeing the city’s arts and culture funding programs, like the Philadelphia Cultural Fund and Percent for Art.
