Who are we?

The Highland Park Arts Commission is a group of volunteers—including artists, arts professionals, teachers, parents, arts advocates, and others who are interested in the arts—who live and/or work in the Highland Park community. The Commission is under the charter of the borough of Highland Park.

What is our mission?

The Arts Commission works to enrich the quality of life for people who live or work in Highland Park by promoting the expression and appreciation of visual, media, performing, and literary arts in a manner that reflects our community's diverse cultures.

What Do We Do?

  • Plan and sponsor arts-related projects, both on our own and in collaboration with other Highland Park Organizations.
  • Seek out opportunities to engage all Highland Park residents in the arts.
  • Award grants supporting local artists and arts programs.
