“The new website allows visitors to learn about the many arts events going on in Richardson in a single place,” said Assistant City Manager Shanna Sims-Bradish. “We expect Richardson residents will find ArtsinRichardson.com to be a valuable tool in planning local outings and supporting our many arts groups.” The website is one of the first projects originating out of the strategies identified in the Cultural Arts Master Plan, developed by the City and Lord Cultural Resources in 2013. The master plan is designed to serve as a guide to help strengthen the arts community in Richardson by building synergies among the various performance arts groups and enhancing existing arts in the area. |
