About City of Fairfax Public Art Program

An overarching goal for the City of Fairfax is to develop a distinctive sense of place, both physically and culturally.  To that end, the city must mix its diverse and attractive physical spaces with rich and varied cultural and educational experiences. This goal can be achieved in part by promoting a robust public art program.
