Petaluma ARTS CENTER

Public Art Program: The Petaluma Arts Council envisions a city with successful and engaging public spaces, where residents and visitors alike will encounter works of art that will surprise and delight them. We envision a city with artwork of art that celebrates the diversity and history of our community while pointing to the city's aspiration for the future. The public art committee is currently working to bring this vision to Petaluma, beginning with the passage of the Public Art Ordinance.Art Around Town Program: The Art Around Town Program connects members of the Petaluma Arts Council who are visual artists with venues in the community interested in displaying artwork. It is the intent of the Art Around Town committee to get the work of as many PAC members as possible out into the public.Art Paths: The Arts Council's Art Paths Project envisions an integrated system of art paths that incorporate public art, landscaping, and artistic design features along select multi-use trails. These paths will contribute to the introduction of art into the public realm, highlight beauty in functionality, create an imaginative tourist attraction, and encourage more human-based transportation in Petaluma.
