The Public Art Committee, in partnership with Town of Yarmouth municipal staff, works to bring creative artworks to public spaces within our community for the benefit of all. The Public Art Committee is guided by strategic goals and a masterplan for the location of artworks in Yarmouth. Through public engagement, outreach to artists, planning, imagination, fundraising, and installation, we hope to enliven public spaces, start conversations flowing, and celebrate our amazing creative community.

Public art benefits communities in many ways. It supports a community’s economic growth and engages artists as contributors.
