The Public Art Commission (TFPAC) in Twin Falls was established after a vote by the Twin Falls City Council on September 23rd, 2019. The intent was to ‘support a thriving arts community through the activation of public spaces’ according to an article from the City of Twin Falls.

In February of last year, the TFPAC, along with the Twin Falls Parks & Rec, called on local artists to design artistic wraps for the city's electrical boxes.

5 locations were eligible for the artwork wraps, and selected artists were to be paid $1,000 according to the call for designs.

The downtown commons in Twin Falls also has 6 new framed murals featuring artwork that highlights the beauty and culture of Twin Falls. Some building walls in Downtown Twin Falls have also been decorated with massive murals.

The art projects cost roughly $27,000 to complete around the city, according to a quote from Josh Palmer in a KMVT article.

The TFPAC has also put together a map for a self-guided walking tour to see all the displayed artwork. There are dozens of locations around Twin Falls from downtown to CSI, the Twin Falls Center for the Arts, and the Twin Falls Visitor Center.
