Oceanside, CA—In partnership with North County Transit District (NCTD), Art that Excites, through the MainStreet Oceanside Design Committee, has issued a request for an Art Coordinator to submit a proposal to support selecting the best art solution at the Oceanside Transit Center (OTC) pedestrian tunnel. Established in 2016, the Art that Excites public art initiative aims to transform Downtown Oceanside into a public art destination through the creation of unique, visually captivating large-scale art.
The Art Coordinator is not required to be a resident of Oceanside to apply, but it is strongly encouraged for local Art Coordinators to submit a proposal. The selected person must be capable of providing professional and quality service while working in tandem with the partners invested in improving Oceanside’s public art.
The selected Art Coordinator will work collaboratively with MSO and NCTD staff for the duration of the project and will guide MSO and NCTD in the public outreach and decision-making processes for art selection.
Submissions will be accepted until Friday, June 14, 2024, at 5 PM PST. Late submissions will not be considered.
