Music Gallery Strategic Plan 2024-29
The Music Gallery adopted a new strategic plan at our Annual General Meeting in February, and we are pleased to share that plan with our wider community now.
This strategic plan is at once a reminder and a path forward, an invitation to acknowledge our history, and a guide to cultivating future partnerships. The plan outlines a set of four interlocking goals, and resulting objectives and actions. You can read an overview, or read/download the full plan further below.
The Music Gallery team will be living with this document, and continually evaluating and adjusting our plan in response to new insights and revelations, shifting political, cultural and financial contexts, and timely opportunities.
