Healdsburg Public Art Grant
In 2018, the Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council established goals to engage the community in defining the role of art through the creation of an community-based arts and culture master planning process. The arts and culture master planning process was a community-led initiative with a Creative Leadership Team comprised of community members serving as the project's steering committee. City Council adopted Healdsburg's first ever Arts and Culture Master Plan in August 2021. The Plan outlines five major goals:
Build the Structural Foundation for Arts and Culture
Enrich Cultural Experiences for Our Community and Our Visitors
Foster and Grow an Inclusive Creative Economy
Advance Art in the Public Realm
Support Development of Arts and Cultural Spaces
As part of the City's efforts to foster and enhance our creative community, we are pleased to announce our first Public Art Grant Program solicitation. This program is one of the outcomes of the recently adopted Arts and Culture Master Plan and marks the City's first dedicated financial commitment to supporting the arts community. Eligible applicants include local artists, creators, and non-profit organizations interested in expanding the role of arts in our community. Any artwork that is intended to enrich the public environment for City residents and visitors is eligible, including sculptures, murals, paintings, graphic arts, mosaics, photography, crafts, mixed media, environmental works, and performing arts. The art may be temporary or permanent.
