The Sandpoint Arts Commission was formed in April 2004 to act in an advisory capacity to the Mayor and City Council, with the following mission: to create and maintain an atmosphere conducive to the fullest expression of all forms of the arts in order to enrich the lives of all Sandpoint citizens and visitors.

The commission consists of five to nine volunteers, appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council.  In addition, one member of the City Council and one City staff member act as liaisons.  Current members include artists, art administrators, and an architect.  The SAC meets at least once per month.
