Data and Summary
LOCATION STRATEGY
EMPHASIZING CITY GATEWAYS
These sites serve as Landmark Art opportunities—bold, highly visible installations that act as cultural markers for both residents and visitors.
Based on community feedback, the following are key factors in determining recommended locations:
1 OPTIMIZE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
Functional Art opportunities focus on locations where people interact with the built environment on a daily basis. These include bus stops, benches, and bike racks—elements that improve comfort and accessibility while infusing creativity into the corridor’s infrastructure. 2 ENHANCE COMMUNITY FEATURES
Smaller-scale and more dispersed Discovery Art opportunities provide moments of surprise and delight throughout the Artesia Corridor.
Integrated into existing infrastructure such as crosswalks, these artworks introduce color, pattern, and texture into the streetscape. 3 OPTIMIZE SITE OPPORTUNITIES
Recommended locations must also align with the guidance of previous City efforts, including the Citywide Public Art Master Plan, the Artesia and Aviation Corridors Art Plan, and the funding requirements of the John Parsons Public Art Fund, which prioritize artworks within the public right of way and on City-owned property.
