Public Art

To facilitate the development of public art in our community, the Eureka Art and Culture Commission is developing a link registry. It will be used in conjunction with the Public Art Guidelines. Anyone interested in supporting public art in a proposed project, please contact one of the Commissioners or send an e-mail. If you know of an existing project that might benefit by an artistic vision; contact us as well. We are interested in connecting artists with projects and community members with artists.

Eureka Arts & Culture
Eureka is a small community thriving in the arts and culture. The arts play a prominent part of daily life. With that in mind, the Eureka Art and Culture Commission wishes to honor artists who have contributed to the betterment of life in Eureka through their creative endeavors with a Recognition Award, presented annually. (Recognition Award Guidelines)

With the largest number of artists per capita in the United States, all the arts are evident everywhere. The sides of buildings are painted with colorful murals. Arts Alive!, a monthly alternative exhibit of artists' work fills the streets with throngs of people, sounds of music, and a vast assortment of art. There are music events and festivals on streets, the harbor and the bay throughout the year. Among the events are the north coast annual open studios tour, museums exhibits and festivities, jazz and dance, Indian crafts and fairs. The number and variety is too numerous to list.

An inspiring environment
The natural beauty of the rivers, giant redwoods and ocean frames the arts experience you'll find within this vibrant, artistic, northwestern Californian community. It's an experience not to be missed

The Art and Culture Commission, among its many purposes, exists to enhance the artistic and cultural experience for all those that live in or visit Eureka.
