2. Encourage public art that celebrates Napa’s historical, socio-cultural and aesthetic values
3. Preserve and enrich Napa’s cultural environment
4. Enhance the character of Napa through visibility of community-valued artworks
5. Promote public participation and interaction with artists and artwork
6. Stimulate the Downtown economy through increased pedestrian activity and create an art destination in Napa
