For the first time on 1st October 2009, the cultural sector across York and North Yorkshire will be invited to come together to celebrate what we do, and look towards the future.
It will be a packed day with inspirational speakers, informative stalls, real-life successes viewed through cultural tours and the opportunity to network with the rest of the sector.
We also want your input into the cultural strategy for 2009 – 2012, as we launch our consultation on future projects.
