The City partners with local arts organizations and other city departments to offer monthly creative experiences across neighborhoods, public spaces, and seasons.
One Book – Art on Loan
Now in its third year, the Westminster Libraries are once again bringing visual art into the city’s One Book community celebration. Through the Art on Loan program, local artists collaborate with the city to display paintings and sculptures inspired by this year’s book selection, creating a dynamic, multi-sensory extension of the story.
Join us in mid-January for Cookies with the Artists, a welcoming installation event where you can watch the artworks being placed in the library, meet the creators, and hear firsthand how the book’s themes sparked their imagination.
Date to be announced—stay tuned to our social media channels and this page for the official installation schedule.

Arts & Culture Master Plan
Arts and culture play a critical role in communities. They stimulate the economy, spur innovation and beautify cities. Research increasingly points to the role of arts and culture in achieving social priorities - improving quality of life, increasing connections, ensuring wellness, and educating and enlightening citizens.
Through the creation of the Arts and Culture Master Plan, the City of Westminster takes its place among many communities across the world that value a strategic approach to arts and culture initiatives. This plan is the culmination of research, public engagement and input gathered from the local cultural, business, education, philanthropy and arts communities. It is rooted in best practices and the City's vision for future development.
The Westminster Arts and Culture Master Plan is intended to be a flexible road map. This plan outlines a long-term vision and offers recommendations for achieving that vision. It prioritizes leveraging current resources, partnerships and activities to ensure the work is sustainable and fits within other community and City goals.
