Art, culture and community accessibility to San Diego Bay are top priorities for the Port of San Diego. The Port's Public Art Program is an important element of this vision. A community-based Public Art Program was created to promote a healthy, vibrant atmosphere that contributes to the quality and identity of the region. Various art projects can be found in public spaces on each member city's tidelands and the shoreline of San Diego Bay. These projects celebrate San Diego's international ties, cultural diversity, military significance and unique oceanfront environment.
Artists bring a unique perspective to design development.
Their participation provides an aesthetic balance to capital improvement projects. They help create memorable spaces for businesses, residents and tourists. Enhancing the character of communities through Public Art directly supports cultural tourism and economic development.
