All Public Art Projects managed by the City of San Antonio’s Department of Arts & Culture follow a comprehensive process. The Public Art Process includes six major checkpoints, in which we check in with the community and stakeholders for updates and feedback from beginning to end. Milestones with an asterisk indicate required approvals by our Public Art Committee and San Antonio Arts Commission. On average, a project can be completed in up to 24 months.

Community Engagement Phase:

Artwork created through the City’s Public Art Process must first go through SASpeakUp community engagement to determine the artwork’s theme and other important design aspects. This engagement is quantified through a SASpeakUp survey which provides critical information for artist selection and design.

This survey was open from April 8 - May 9, 2024.
