Ask Napa's Police about Art Ordinances! NCCAC Presentation by NPD

This coming Monday, April 4th, the Napa County Commission for Arts and Culture will be having Sergeant Mike Hensley of the Napa PD as our guest speaker.  The goal is to have an information session regarding Napa codes and ordinances as they relate to art.  Among the topics will be what is considered graffiti, amplified noise and event permits and other things related to public art.  There will be time for questions and answers from both the NCCAC as well as anyone interested from the public.

Please spread the word as this is a valuable chance to learn the perspective of the police, as well as share our perspective as artists and event organizers.

The meeting will be at the NCTPA Conference Room, 707 Randolph Street, Suite 100 in Downtown Napa.
