Public Arts Midland

Why we exist

Public Arts Midland is a space to help people create connections through public art. We believe that art connects, heals, inspires, teaches, and speaks to us in myriad ways that build stronger and more vibrant communities. Public art gives our community a collective voice and a way to express our values while it brings awareness of and beauty to our city’s physical and cultural landscape.

2024 Theme: Art Inspires

Public Arts Midland is excited to unveil our 2024 theme: Art Inspires. This theme was thoughtfully chosen by the members of the Public Arts Midland committee, who believe in the profound impact art has on individuals and the community. “Art Inspires” is a call to action, reminding us to take notice of the world around us. In the midst of daily repetition, art serves as a catalyst for creativity, encouraging us to break free from the ordinary and explore the extraordinary. “Art Inspires” is a celebration of the power of art to awaken the senses, provoke thought, and ignite the imagination. Public art brings this inspiration to the forefront of our community, turning public spaces into vibrant places. As we embrace “Art Inspires” in 2024, we invite the community to cultivate a culture of inspiration, where the beauty and creativity of art enhance our daily lives.

Together. Forward. Bold. We hope to enrich Midland County through the transformative and inspirational power of art, making this community a place where everyone thrives.

Initiatives

Access to Community

Advancing inclusion and accessibility for all Midland County citizens and visitors.

Construction Talent Attraction Program

The Construction Talent Attraction Program is specifically designed to attract and retain individuals who have completed postsecondary education and plan to work for construction businesses

Impact Investing

Through impact investing, we can deploy capital locally instead of making investments in more typical capital markets, where the dollars flow all over the world. When communities need more resources, many community foundations are seeking ways to have their endowment fund investments put to work to accomplish their mission and financial target goals.

Lloyd Osborn Memorial Award

The purpose of this award is to memorialize the qualities of dedication and service to sports and community exemplified by the late Lloyd Osborn, long-time coach and teacher at Northeast Intermediate School (now, Northeast Middle School).
