POAC Staff
The Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture (POAC) was established by the Phoenix City Council in 1985 to protect, enhance, serve and advocate excellence in the arts in Phoenix and to raise the level of awareness and involvement of all city residents in the preservation, expansion and enjoyment of the arts.
The POAC is responsible for directing a public art program, administering grants in support of the arts, fostering arts education programs in the schools, providing assistance to arts organizations and artists and advocating for the arts.
City Council established the Phoenix Arts and Culture Commission, 18 or more citizen volunteers appointed by the mayor and City Council, to act as an advisory body on arts-related matters. City staff administer the POAC's programs and services. Additionally, nearly 100 citizens and arts professionals serve each year on POAC panels, which make recommendations on artist selection and grant awards. Panel recommendations are reviewed by the commission and approved by the Phoenix City Council.
The POAC's operating expenses are supported by the city's general purpose funds, percent for art funds, state lottery revenue, and regional and federal grants.
