The mission of the City of Frisco Public Art Program is to promote cultural, aesthetic and economic vitality in Frisco by integrating the work of artists into public places, civic infrastructure and private development. In keeping with that mission, the Frisco Public Art Board initiated Art in the Atrium series at the George A. Purefoy Municipal Center. The facility's open atrium design and tall limestone walls has proven to be an exceptional venue to showcase the artistic excellence of our local and regional artists.
