In early 2020, the Downtown Partnership convened its inaugural Placemaking Committee, a group of key Downtown stakeholders tasked with developing a Placemaking Blueprint, a long-term public space strategy to deliver vibrant and memorable public spaces. Downtown’s public spaces – our streets, pathways, squares, parks, and waterfront – are where we connect with the city and with each other to engage in commerce, express our creativity, and build community. As part of our ongoing effort to expand our public art environment in support of the strategies contained in the Placemaking Blueprint, the Downtown Partnership has commissioned multiple artists to design and paint murals that are visible to the public as they are walking, bicycling, and driving through Downtown San Diego.

This opportunity is open to artists 18 years of age and older residing or based in San Diego County showing a strong professional working history.
