The Lodi Arts Commission was established by the Lodi City Council in 1982 and charged with the mission to inspire, encourage and promote the arts in Lodi.

The Commission is governed by a body of eleven volunteers (commissioners) who are appointed by the Mayor to serve three-year terms. The commissioners meet monthly, usually on the second Wednesday, at Hutchins Street Square.

The Arts Commission also acts in an advisory capacity to the Lodi City Council and the City's Division of Arts & Culture in connection with the artistic and cultural development of the City.

The programs of the LAC are administered by the Division of Arts & Culture, who also provides quality Student Enrichment and Adult Specialty Art courses, administration of the City’s Arts and Cultural grants, the Art in Public Places program, and numerous other projects and events that further the development and public awareness of the fine and performing arts.

For more information about any of these programs, please visit www.lodiarts.org, or call the Division of Arts & Culture at 209.333.5511.
