Goals & Objectives Pleasanton Cultural Plan Goal D: Programming Rationale To complement proposals for cultural facilities and public participation contained in this Cultural Plan, the Planning Committee believes that a concurrent strengthening of visual and performing arts program offerings should also be pursued. While the City's Areadot Theater, Cultural Arts Center. and cultural organizations offer a diversity of programs, there is a sense that some "gaps need filling" to reach a broader cross-section of the community with a more diverse slate of programs. Plan participants are also hopeful that new efforts can be made to encourage cross-fertilization among arts and cultural organizations spanning multiple disciplines. It is also the intent of this goal that the City's arts community should reach out to cultural sectors in Pleasanton including Sister Cities support groups, Alameda County Fairgrounds events (e.g., Scottish Games), and the City's multicultural communities (such as the annual program of East Indian events at the Areadot Theater).
