Cambridge Arts Council (CAC)

CAC's mission is to enhance the lives of the city's citizens through the arts; stimulate public awareness of and support of the arts; preserve and celebrate the diverse cultural heritage of Cambridge; commission art; display art in public places; create artist employment opportunities; identify areas of Cambridge life in which the arts are lacking; serve as a liaison between organizations and coordinate services; sponsor festivals, celebrations, conferences, and symposia to promote the arts; and develop ways to improve the aesthetic experience of living, working, and playing in the city.

History:
For over thirty years CAC has presented the Cambridge River Festival, commissions public art works, operates the Public Art Gallery which showcases the work of Cambridge artists, produces the Summer in the City children's concerts series, and administers the Cambridge Public Art, and Street Performer Ordinances.
