| It is our mission to enhance the quality of life in Pitt County by making the arts accessible to everyone. One way that we do this is through the creation and facilitation of public art within the county. By making the places where we live, work and play more welcoming and beautiful, we are creating a deeper interaction between the community and environment. |

This public art program was launched in 2015 with the help of The West Memorial Fund.
