The Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture is the City’s designated local arts agency. It supports, champions, and promotes the local arts, culture, and educational community to make Phoenix a great place to live, work, and visit.

Since its establishment in 1986, the agency’s Public Art Program has been a national model for involving artists in designing and building a better city. By fostering collaborations among artists, engineers, architects, landscape architects and other urban designers and thinkers, the program enhances the look, feel and function of a wide range of public buildings, spaces and infrastructure.

The arts inspire and bring joy to residents. They beautify public spaces, strengthen community pride and identity, and bolster the economy.
