Public Art Master Plan

Recognizing the profound impact of artistic expression, Paramount developed its first-ever Public Art Master Plan (PAMP) to provide a unified vision for the selection, placement, growth, and ongoing management of public art around the City.
A key component of the plan’s development was the highly collaborative outreach campaign, “Your Voice. Our Canvas.” which elevated community voices during the creative process through a series of hands-on engagement activities. The City invited residents, students, businesses, and the community to participate so that future art pieces reflect the culture, spirit, and integrity of Paramount.
The Community Outreach Process
“Knit Arounds” took place at the following community events, offering each participant the chance to help weave together old t-shirts into an artwork that will be publicly displayed:
- Tepic Sister Cities Dia de los Ninos on Saturday, March 23, 2024
- Eco-Friendly Fair on Saturday, April 20, 2024
- Friday Night Paramount at All-American Park on Friday, May 24, 2024
- The first performance of the Summer Concert Series on Thursday, June 27, 2024
Used t-shirts were donated for the “Knit Arounds”! Residents brought used, clean shirts to one of the community events above, or dropped them off at City Hall during regular business hours to the Planning Department.
