WELCOME...
In 2007, the Napa County Transportation and Planning Agency (NCTPA) created the Napa County Commission for Arts and Culture (NCCAC). The Commission is intended to be the primary advisory body for arts and cultural planning for the Napa communities. NCCAC functions as the liaison between the arts community, government, business and philanthropic leaders, community developers, county and city planners and the public at large. NCCAC consists of eleven volunteer commissioners. One commissioner is appointed by each City Council of American Canyon, Yountville, St. Helena, Calistoga and Napa. One commissioner is appointed by the Napa County Board of Supervisors. There are five additional at-large seats appointed by the NCTPA.
As publically appointed servants NCCAC commissioners take their role seriously and have been working diligently to maintain the public trust. NCCAC has developed strategic goals and objectives that strengthen the role of the arts throughout the County to include:
- Provide a unified/cohesive voice representing all disciplines of art
- Listen to and review the arts community concerns/issues
- Research/develop new sources of funding the arts throughout the county
- Review and recommending body to Napa County regarding new Regrant Program
- Make recommendations to appropriate government agencies for resolution and/or salient contributions for planning and development regarding cultural planning, public policy, legislation and ordinances as they relate to the arts
- Recognize/capitalize on the ARTS as an important economic driver
- Provide leadership and vision in the arts as integral to the well-being of our communities.
The Commission meets the first Monday of each month at 4:00pm, primarily at the Napa County Transportation and Planning Agency (NCTPA) conference room, 707 Randolph Street, Napa, and periodically at locations throughout the County. Meeting agendas are posted one week prior to Commission meetings on the NCTPA website.
