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 on a vibrant arts and culture sector. With the Cultural Vision 2030 'The city lives, long live the city' we want to give direction to that. Together with the arts and culture sector, an implementation agenda has been created for the Cultural Vision 2030. At the end of 2024, this will be evaluated with the field and on January 29, 2025, a meeting was held to adjust the agenda.

Art in public space
Visual art gives colour and character to the city. It creates meeting places, striking places that everyone knows and recognises. A work of art that is specially made for a place tells a story, makes passers-by think and makes people feel at home.
