The City of
Broomfield established the Broomfield Cultural Council by ordinance
in August 2000. The Council is composed of seven at large citizens appointed
by the City Council. The City Council has endeavored to appoint
citizens with skills in a wide range of areas including, leadership,
nonprofit management, fiscal affairs, consensus building,
communication, the arts, cultural heritage and the sciences. Click

citizens currently serving on the council.
The mandate of
the Cultural Council is threefold:
1) to administer annual funds
made available from the
Scientific and Cultural Facilities District to Broomfield as one
of seven eligible counties in this funding district;
2) to
administer
Arts,
Culture and Science funds made available by the city and county
to support projects and programs benefiting the Broomfield
community; and
3) to support implementation of the
Creative
Broomfield cultural master plan per direction of Council for
the development and maintenance of scientific and cultural
opportunities in the county. The master plan contains a vision
for the future of Broomfield’s cultural
environment including short-term and long-range strategies to
realize that vision. The plan, drafted by the Cultural Council and
adopted by the City Council in 2001, is intended as a tool to guide the
community in sustaining and enhancing Broomfield’s existing and
newly established cultural
resources.
