The City of Golden has engaged Keen Independent to create an Arts and Culture Strategic Master Plan, which will serve as a framework for cultivating art, culture, and creativity in Golden. Keen Independent is a national research firm that combines expertise in equity and economics with lived arts and cultural leadership. The study team will conduct extensive stakeholder and community engagement, visit and document Golden’s cultural assets, and assess the City’s needs to complete the plan by August 2023.
