Alameda Residents Encouraged To Provide Feedback About Public Art

ALAMEDA, CA -- The City of Alameda is looking for input from residents regarding public art within the city, officials announced July 20.

Alameda community members are encouraged to take an online survey to identify the public art priorities across the city. The survey takes around five minutes to complete and is available at www.alamedaca.gov/artsurvey until October 3, 2022.

The city has engaged national arts consulting organization Forecast Public Art to lead the process of developing the first Public Art Master Plan for the city. The Master Plan provides direction on the planning and processes necessary to further develop, administer, and maintain a dynamic citywide public art program that prioritizes racial diversity, creates opportunities for local artists, and represents the character and goals of the entire community.

Forecast Public Art is also engaging the community in a series of individual interviews, focus groups, and community engagement pop-up events. Those interested in more information about public art should visit www.alamedaca.gov/publicart or email Walker Toma at wtoma@alamedaca.gov.

Questions about the master planning process can be directed to Jen Krava, Director of Programming & New Initiatives, or Mark Salinas, Senior Project Manager, both of Forecast Public Art, at (651) 641-1128 or jen@forecastpublicart.org and marks@forecastpublicart.org.
