The City of Meridian thrives as a hub for arts and culture, thanks to the efforts of the Meridian Arts Commission. This dedicated group advises the Mayor and City Council on arts policies and fosters public awareness of creative expression in the community. As we enter 2025, we celebrate the Commission’s contributions and look forward to welcoming new members.
Over the past year, the Commission has showcased the arts through exciting initiatives: interactive sculptures like “Fanfare” at Discovery Park, the wrapping of traffic boxes by talented local students, and public art installations on bus shelters. Events like Art Week and Concerts on Broadway brought thousands together to celebrate creativity.
Initial Point Gallery, the heart of civic art, continues to highlight diverse talents, hosting monthly receptions and exhibits featuring regional artists. Open to the public, the gallery provides a space to engage with art and experience its connection to our city’s identity.
