Be a Part of the San Diego International Airport Arts Master Plan
The Airport Arts Program is preparing for the future with the development of a new Arts Master Plan. The plan will guide the Arts Program's vision for public art and arts and culture programs at the airport for the next ten years.
The previous master plan was completed in 2006 and provided guidelines and policies for the program's three core components: Public Art, Performing Arts, and Temporary Exhibitions. Since 2006, the Arts Program has grown both in its permanent art collection and its annual exhibitions. It has also redefined how the airport traveler experiences the airport, with everything from a first-of-its-kind performing arts residency program and live concerts, to educational programs with local schools, and special partnerships with community arts groups to Grammy winners.
It is now time to embark on a new arts master planning journey. We would like you to help us plan for the future. You can participate in this planning process by taking the survey that is linked below. It will help us understand your experiences in using the airport and your thoughts about how arts resources can engage travelers in enriching ways, create a welcoming ambiance unique to San Diego, and cultivate cultural partnerships in the region.
Survey links are
HERE (English) and
HERE (Spanish)
