| Arts and Culture |
The Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture was established
in 1985 by the Phoenix City Council to advance the growth and
development of the city’s arts and cultural community.
The Office of Arts and Culture manages the city’s public
art program, administers a grants program, supports arts education,
conducts research, provides information and assistance to artists
and cultural organizations, and oversees the city’s cultural
planning efforts. The Office of Arts and Culture works with
other city departments that manage cultural facilities and programs.
Collectively, these efforts result in a broad range of artistic
and cultural opportunities for Phoenix residents and visitors.
The Phoenix Arts and Culture Commission, a diverse group citizen
volunteers, is appointed by the Mayor and City Council to advise
on the development of arts and culture in Phoenix. The Commission
includes representatives from the cultural, business, and education
communities and the general public. The Commission is supported
by other citizens and arts professionals who serve on panels
to review applications and make recommendations regarding grant
awards and selection of artists for public art projects.
Through ongoing advocacy efforts and relationships with other
agencies and organizations, the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture
and the Phoenix Arts and Culture Commission work together to
increase awareness of the city's rich cultural diversity, the
role of the arts in enhancing education and addressing social
issues, and the contributions of arts and culture to Phoenix's
economy and quality of life.
