The Salem Public Art Commission was established in 2014 after the completion of the City of Salem Public Art Master Plan in 2013. The goal of the Salem Public Art Commission, which funds and selects the Salem Public Art Collection, is to nurture diversity & creativity; foster a sense of community pride & belonging; and enhance the quality of life for all.

With a focus on working with local artists, especially those historically underrepresented, we seek to foster greater community awareness of & interaction with the arts and celebrate diversity in all its forms.

The commission serves as an advocate for public art in Salem.
