NUTTER: Cultural Representation in City Government
I have already proposed to reopen Office of Arts & Culture. This Office was originally established by Mayor Wilson Goode to coordinate the City’s arts programs, but was closed two years ago.
Building on recommendations in the recent RAND report, this office will also coordinate with the City’s economic development efforts, by aligning arts programming with tourism efforts, neighborhood development, new business promotion and efforts to market Philadelphia. This position may not require being a member of the Cabinet. What it does require – as was true in the Rendell Administration – is that the Mayor takes it seriously and shows leadership on the issue.

How important is this office or can the arts be promoted effectively at less cost?
