Culture
Culture is of great value to society, for young and old. It is indispensable for the attractiveness and identity of Zoetermeer. Culture enriches your life and gives you space to discover hidden talents and interests. By participating in cultural activities you meet other people. But above all, experiencing culture or making it yourself ensures that you relax and have fun.
Cultural Vision 2030
Zoetermeer is working towards a vibrant arts and culture sector. With the Cultural Vision 2030 'The city lives, live the city' we want to give direction to this. Together with the arts and culture sector, an implementation agenda has been drawn up for the Cultural Vision 2030. It was evaluated with the field at the end of 2024 and a meeting was held on January 29, 2025 to adjust the agenda.

Art in public space
Visual art gives color and character to the city. It creates meeting places, striking places that everyone knows and recognizes. A work of art made specifically for a place tells a story, makes passersby think and makes people feel at home.
