What We Do

The Mansfield Commission for the Arts enhances quality of life through promoting, supporting, and advocating for artistic, cultural, and educational opportunities, and seeks to make Mansfield a destination for arts & culture. We are:

A free festival that offers access to the arts with music, visual arts, hands-on interactive music and art activities, food, and fun! This annual festival is attracts 4,000 visitors to our historic donwtown area.

A 4-day celebration of the arts in our community with local arts organizations and artists participating to create a critical mass of arts events to kick off spring break. Young and old, music lovers, art aficionados, book worms, and theater-goers will find something to entice and engage them.

Grants and Scholarships

Since 2018 we've given out almost $85,000 in grants and scholarships

Administrative Support

Help artists, arts organizations, and residents in search of arts-based services to navigate the options and hurdles in our community and beyond, from finding a music teacher, piano mover, or portrait artist to helping arts professionals navigate City policy, grant applications, and job searches.

The Mansfield Commission for the Arts, a 501c3 non-profit organization, was founded in 2016 as a City advisory board and is comprised of a nine-member Board.
