RAD Napa’s vision is to see an underappreciated two mile stretch that runs through downtown Napa pulse with new energy and awe-inspiring sights that spark meaningful dialogue. Through investment in and stewardship of a dedicated public art district in the City of Napa, RAD Napa can achieve this vision. We believe that when art becomes part of the fabric of a community, every citizen has the opportunity to see new possibilities and create a better future for everyone.
