Arts Master Plan

On October 6, 2021 the Moorpark City Council adopted the City's first Arts Master Plan. The Arts Master Plan is the result of a robust public input campaign and detailed evaluation of the City's current policies and procedures related to public art. The Plan provides a blueprint for aligning the City's priorities with those of the community and offers short and long-term direction for program activities.

Art In Public Places

The City brings public art to the Moorpark community through the Art In Public Places program. This program requires certain development projects to either provide art work on site (as a part of the project construction), or to pay an in-lieu fee which is then used by the City to develop and maintain public art projects throughout the community.
