The city’s Cultural Arts Office is kicking off the planning process for new public art that will be located at the Chestnut Avenue I-5 underpass. The undercrossing serves as one of the main entrances to the Barrio and links the neighborhoods around Holiday Park on the east side of the freeway and the city’s Barrio community.

• This will be the first permanent public art included at a freeway underpass in the City of Carlsbad.
• The first step is to select the artist.
• A public art advisory subcommittee formed by the Cultural Arts Office will make that decision at a meeting planned for the first week of January:

Public art advisory subcommittee meeting
Topic: Choosing the artist for the Chestnut underpass public art project

You are welcome to come to the meeting and provide input, either in person or beforehand via email. All the details, including information about each artist, are included in the agenda packet will be in the agenda packet. You can also sign up to be notified about public art projects in the Barrio via email.
