Cultural Arts Commission

Established by Section 4-16 of the Rockville City Code, the Cultural Arts Commission celebrates and promotes the fine and performing arts to reflect Rockville’s diversity and make the city a vibrant arts destination. One of the commission’s primary responsibilities is to recommend public art for the Art in Public Places Program. The commission also provides advice, upon request from an applicant, on a selection process to procure and implement publicly accessible art. In addition, the commission helps incubate and foster additional artistic and cultural events through its advisory role to the Mayor and Council.
