National Development Strategy for Culture and the Arts

The Programme for Government has a clear objective to increase cultural engagement in the Isle of Man for residents.  It also has targets to leverage facilities and events to increase the number of leisure visitors and improve the Isle of Man’s reputation as a place to live and visit. 

This is echoed in the Isle of Man’s National Development Strategy for Culture and the Arts, which establishes the need to find out what people want in order to inform future planning. 

The Isle of Man Cultural Engagement Survey is being undertaken by Economic Affairs, Cabinet Office on behalf of the Isle of Man Arts Council and Culture Vannin, who would like to ask all Island residents for their opinions on the arts, sport, recreation and Manx culture. Your views will help to shape the development of our Island's arts and culture scene.
