WHAT is the Arts District: Since the 1990s, the City of Santa Rosa has strived to build a thriving public art program. In recent years, these efforts have paid off with tremendous successes, including the creation of the Santa Rosa Arts District.
Downtown Santa Rosa is now a designated Arts District. The Community is encouraged to bring art and cultural events to the district, benefiting the area and the entire region.
The goal of the Arts District is to create a beautiful and inspiring destination that maximizes the public’s opportunities to experience art.
