The purpose of the Fine and Cultural Arts Commission is to:

Increase citizen access to the arts by providing leadership, advocacy, and the support for art that enriches the cultural vitality of our community.

Provide advice and work cooperatively with the city council to promote fine and cultural arts in the city.

Foster and promote an appreciation of fine arts within the city by enlisting and encouraging public and private agencies, as well as the general public, to support art and cultural events within the city.

At the request of the City Council, review and make recommendations directly to the City Council for artworks for public buildings and public spaces.
