Calling Local Artists!
Public Art Opportunity: Albin & Brookside
The City of San Antonio’s Department of Arts & Culture has identified the Eisenhauer-Northwood-Devonshire IA Drainage project area in Council District 10 as an opportunity for a public art sculpture project. The sculpture will be located near the Albin Rd and Brookside Dr. intersection.
The Department of Arts & Culture’s Public Art Division is the City of San Antonio’s program responsible for managing public art projects and programs that express the vibrancy and diversity of our community through art and place-making. The public art projects managed include those associated with the City’s capital improvement programs that connect to the community through exhibits, presentations, outreach and planning initiatives.
The Public Art Division works directly with all City departments and supports local public art efforts of artists, community groups, partnership organizations, and outside agencies.
Public art works can be found throughout San Antonio, including several pieces located near Brackenridge Park and the Witte Museum. Prior to awarding a grant for a sculpture, the public works staff surveys the community surrounding the proposed site to determine community preferences and ideas for the work.
