Art in Public Places

Art in Public Places
Established by the City of Twentynine Palms in 2004, Art in Public Places is part of the City's Public Arts Program and is administered by the Public Arts Advisory Committee (PAAC). The Twentynine Palms City Council appoints its members. The PAAC oversees public art installations, supports youth and the arts programs in the community, and sponsors Art in Public Places exhibitions at the Twentynine Palms Visitor Center & Art Gallery, 73484 Twentynine Palms Hwy. Appointed by the City Council, the PAAC directs itself toward placing high-quality permanent public art in the City with the following objectives: to enrich the public environment for both residents and visitors; to nurture, enhance, and encourage the community's participation in arts; to enable Twentynine Palms to enhance its identity as an arts community; to increase public access to promote an understanding and awareness of the arts. PAAC's focus is to complement the established mural program with installations in other mediums. These installations contribute to the telling of Twentynine Palms' natural and cultural history, which continues to build its recognition as an arts oasis. PAAC invites the public to attend the meetings and participate in promoting the arts in Twentynine Palms! They meet on the third Wednesday of each month at 3:30 p.m. For more information, contact the City liaison for the PAAC, Diane Olsen, (760) 367-6799 ext.1007.
