The seven-member Arts Commission advises the City Council on policies that enhance the aesthetic and cultural quality of life in Santa Cruz. Appointed by the council, commissioners are volunteers with a strong commitment to the arts.

To learn more about the commission, the City Arts programs, and to take a virtual tour of the city's public art, go to SantaCruzCityArts.com.

The Arts Commission meets seven to eight times a year on the second Wednesday of the month at 6 p.m. in City Council Chambers, 809 Center St. Summer and winter recesses vary year to year.
