Our vision is that Dorset places culture at the heart of quality of life.
The Dorset Cultural Partnership published its first Dorset Cultural Strategy in 2009. This Dorset Cultural Strategy 2016-2021 refreshes that document and builds on the collaboration it generated.
The drafting of this new Cultural Strategy was led by the Dorset Cultural Partnership and shaped by listening to ideas, concerns and aspirations from colleagues and organisations in the cultural arena and others.

Working together will enable us to achieve our vision and ambitions.
