1. THE ARTS IN TWENTYNINE PALMS GENERAL PLAN
The City of Twentynine Palms' General Plan mission statement includes the vision to create and
promote its residents' economic and social well-being, guided by sustainability and adaptability
principles. Further defined by the goals of:
● Developing a strong and diversified local economy with a focus on arts, cultural tourism, retail,
job growth, and overall quality of life for all community members, and
● Preserving the desert environment and its natural and cultural resources for future
generations. To enhance its identity as an artistic community and to celebrate and expand its
vital and rich artistic legacy, the City established the Art in Public Places (APP) Program in
2004.
2. PAAC MISSION STATEMENT
The City of Twentynine Palms established Art in Public Places in 2004 as part of its Public Arts
Program. Art in Public Places is administered by the Public Arts Advisory Committee (PAAC). The
Twentynine Palms City Council appoints its members who envision literary, visual, and performing
arts programming; oversee public art performance and installations, support youth and the arts
programs in the community, and sponsor Art in Public Places exhibitions.
The PAAC is directed toward supporting high-quality public art and performance in the City with the
following objectives:
● To enrich the public environment for both residents and visitors
● To nurture, enhance, and encourage the community's participation in arts
● To enable Twentynine Palms to enhance its identity as an arts community
● To increase public access to promote an understanding and awareness of the arts
In addition to developing new arts programming, the PAAC will maintain an inventory of existing
permanent public art and oversee assessment and maintenance of City owned works.
