The Public Art Ordinance

Hey all,

What a great night last night. After some interesting comments and a lot of community voices, around three hours of discussion and a couple power point presentations, City Council passed Napa’s first ever Public Art Ordinance, based off of a percentage program that is currently working in neighboring cities of Fairfield, Davis, Dixon, and Richmond. What a great way to inspire art!

The program, though barely born, will show tremendous results by the end of the year, with an average yearly fundraising for art of over $250,000. Let’s keep our hopes high and get ready for some quirky beautification of the valley.
