The Arts & Cultural Commission, an appointed 17 member Commission, provides recommendations to the Mayor and City Council for the beautification and cultural development of the City of Corpus Christi. The Commission also provides recommendation to the administration of the City’s Public Art Program, the cultural funding for the City’s Arts Grant Program, oversight of the City’s Permanent Art Trust Fund and the Community Cultural Plan (adopted in 1996).

The Arts & Cultural Commission hosts an annual Festival of the Arts which promotes Corpus Christi as a cultural center, showcases its diversity of artistic and cultural expression, and enhances the quality of life for citizens and visitors alike. This community event provides cultural activities that encourage economic development and tourism for Corpus Christi.

In addition to the annual Festival of the Arts, the Commission also provides informative and educational workshops throughout the year. The City of Corpus Christi Parks & Recreation's Cultural Services Department serves as liaison to the Arts & Cultural Commission
