Call to Artists - Sculpture at Posy Park

Description

The City of San Bruno Culture and Arts Commission invites artists to submit proposals for a permanent outdoor sculpture to be installed at Posy Park. Located at the intersection of Huntington Avenue and San Mateo Avenue, Posy Park is a prominent public plaza situated just outside the San Bruno Caltrain station and is a gateway to downtown San Bruno. Additionally, the park features a tile mural commemorating the city’s history, making it a key cultural landmark and potential community gathering place.

The sculpture will serve as the focal point of a broader revitalization effort at Posy Park, which will include a repaired fountain, refreshed landscaping, new bicycle lockers, and restoration of the existing tile mural. This public art installation will enhance the visual appeal and community value of the park, helping to connect residents and visitors to San Bruno’s dynamic identity.

The submission is open to all professional artists aged 18 and over. Proposals will be reviewed by an ad-hoc selection committee composed of members of the San Bruno Culture and Arts Commission. Public input with be gathered through a survey that invites community feedback based on the finalists’ proposals. The full Commission will consider the committee’s recommendation and survey results before forwarding a final recommendation to the San Bruno City Council for approval.
