Public Art

Transforming Arts District Liberty Station into an evolving open-air gallery where creativity lives in everyday space.

Public Art for the Community

Art in public space belongs to everyone. It creates access without barriers, sparks conversation across differences, and strengthens cultural connection.

Rooted in the diversity of the San Diego–Baja region, Liberty Station Public Art highlights artists whose work reflect the stories, histories, and perspectives that shape our community.

Across the historic campus, installations contribute to a cultural landscape that is dynamic, inclusive, and continually evolving.

Installations at the Station

Established in 2017, the Art in Public Places Committee (AiPP) oversees the selection of temporary installations across the Arts District.

Through a request for qualifications process, artists are commissioned to exhibit work for one-year installations. This rotating model ensures the campus remains active and responsive to new voices and ideas. The mission of AiPP is to highlight the culture and diversity of the region while supporting artists through meaningful public engagement.

Artists are invited to participate through a request for qualifications process.
