The Public Art Commission is in the process of selecting an artist or artist team to create a large sculpture and four related art pieces that capture the theme Authentically Escondido. The main sculpture will be placed in the traffic roundabout at Grand Avenue and Broadway, with smaller companion pieces installed in each council district.

The goal of the project is to have an artist or artist team create a high-quality, enduring public art piece that incorporates strong design elements, developed through a process of meaningful community engagement.

The Public Art Commission has selected the top three qualified artists capable of working on a project of this scale. Each has the knowledge and ability to create art pieces that incorporate public safety, longevity and has a proven track record of co-creating art with the community through a collaborative process.
