Why make a plan?

Arts and culture bring a city to life: they spark pride, welcome visitors, and connect people through shared experiences. They’re also powerful drivers of economic growth and tourism, drawing people in and giving them reasons to stay, explore, and return.

By creating an Arts & Culture Plan, Martinsville is celebrating its unique story, investing in its future, and ensuring that the arts are accessible and vibrant throughout the city.

This plan is our chance to shape a city that’s more vibrant, creative, and connected for everyone who lives here and everyone who visits.
