German term or phrase: sichtbar
"Kulturelle Akzente werden in der Veranstaltungsvielfalt der Stadt sichtbar"

PR blurb for a town. The translation is for a business magazine.

I can't get my head around this sentence. I think it means that the wide choice of events reveals the town's emphasis on culture. But how to put it in good English?
