Cultural Arts Master Plan

The Cultural Arts Master Plan is on track. This plan will guide the future of cultural arts in Mansfield. Throughout the summer, the Cultural Arts team has collected more than 760 surveys from community members with this insight used for the plan's development. City is scheduling public engagement meetings this fall for further discussion and community participation. City staff is reviewing early draft recommendations from the consultant. We anticipate a draft plan to council and the public by the end of the year. Farr Best Theater

Things are underway at the city's historic Farr Best Theater in Downtown Mansfield. We mailed the 2022-23 season brochure to more than 2,500 homes and 3,600 email inboxes. The theater will host more than 149 public events that are sure to have something for everyone. This season's programming is presented in conjunction with nine local arts organizations who are supported through a partnership grant. The theatre was used during 39 days with 14 different events from July through September. For more information about what's showing at the theater visit mansfieldtexasarts.org/farr-best-theater.
