The Public Arts Commission (PAC), established in 2014, is dedicated to enhancing the Grand Forks region through the promotion and integration of public art. Since its inception, PAC has initiated numerous public art projects and organized annual events, with the goal of showcasing and supporting local artists across various mediums. These efforts have led to new galleries and exhibits that celebrate Grand Forks' creative community.

Our vision is to weave arts and culture deeply into the community's fabric, drawing visitors and residents alike. We aim to build a vibrant environment that fosters innovation and contributes to economic growth. Our mission centers on:

• Public Art: Bringing inspirational and engaging art into public spaces to energize our community.

• Support and Promotion: Connecting artists with collectors, supporting diverse art forms, and promoting local art events, performances, exhibits, murals, and sculptures.

Through these initiatives, PAC is committed to creating a lively, creative, and interconnected community that celebrates the power of the arts.
