The Public Art Program was created by the city in 2000 to create expanded opportunities to experience public art resulting from the creative expressions of artists in public places of the City.” Two percent of approved and eligible construction budgets for renewal and improvement projects is allocated for Public Art projects. The Public Art Advisory Committee oversees the program which is dedicated to enhancing the public spaces of Stockton, making this a destination location for visitors, because of our fine public art collection, improving the public space environment, and the pride of place for Stocktonians. The PAAC is committed to install public art projects throughout the City for the public’s enjoyment.
