Master Arts Plan

Fairfax County Master Arts Plans
ArtsFairfax works with Fairfax County on Master Arts Plans to expand community access to and engagement in arts and culture. The Master Arts Plans provide a blueprint for cultural facilities and for public art throughout the County to reflect its diversity, consider existing facilities, and anticipate future growth.Â
UPDATE JULY 2023: The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Accept the Master Arts Plan for Facilities!
The Master Arts Plan for Public Art is underway and scheduled for completion in early 2024.Â
Fairfax County Arts Committee
The Facilities Master Plan and the Public Art Master Plan are guided by the Fairfax County Arts Committee, a mix of County staff leadership and volunteer stakeholders organized to provide the County with thoughtful planning that will result in broader, more equitably accessible arts activities available to all County residents, employees, and visitors. Â
Assuring the arts are a vital presence in everyone’s Fairfax County experience is a key goal of the Countywide Strategic Plan and One Fairfax.Â
