Public art has the distinct ability to stop a passerby in their tracks, making them feel inspired by the creative spirit that runs through their community. In Paramount, public art isn’t just decorative, it reflects the immense pride and cultural diversity that lives within its neighborhoods, businesses, schools and so much more.
Recognizing the profound impact of artistic expression, Paramount is developing its first-ever Public Art Master Plan (PAMP) to provide a unified vision for the selection, placement, growth, and ongoing management of public art around the City.
