Mansfield Arts & Culture Sector

The mission of the Mansfield Arts & Culture Sector is to support our artists and the arts by advocating for artistic and cultural endeavors in Mansfield and the surrounding community.

Time and again, public art has proven to be a positive incentive towards further development and enrichment of downtown communities. Public art connects communities and represents them through beautiful and unique artwork. As the Mansfield Rising Plan states:

“Participation in the arts connects communities in ways that otherwise cannot be reached; the arts transcend barriers of social class and ethnicity... Communities that invest in the arts have made a commitment to fostering a healthy social culture that values citizens’ intellectual and emotional nourishment and creates a sense of belonging and well-being above and beyond fulfilling basic needs.”

With your financial assistance, we can continue to provide support to the artists and arts organizations of Richland County by promoting their work and their upcoming artistic and cultural events in Richland County, connecting artists with resources, and offering a place for discussion and collaboration. With your help, we will also be able to complete more public art projects in downtown Mansfield as part of our Public Art Initiative..
