Arts Commission

The Arts Commission is composed of seven members and one alternate, all appointed by the City Council. It advises the City Council on policies and matters related to the arts and organizes various programs, including Music in the Park, Sunset Serenades, Temporary Art Installations, Innovation Grants for Artists, Cultural Arts Funding Grants, exhibitions, special performances, the Artist Review Panel and the Art-in-Public Places program.

A full-time Cultural Arts Manager, an Arts Program Coordinator and a part-time Public Art Coordinator serve as liaisons to the Commission. They oversee the Cultural Arts Department’s programs and implement key initiatives such as the Cultural Arts Plan, Creative Placemaking Assessment, Artist Working and Living Spaces and Public Art Policy.
