Public Art

Public art is being integrated throughout the San Pedro Waterfront projects.

Cruise Ship Promenade
At the Cruiseship Promenade, Doug Hollis, a nationally renowned artist, created a major environmental art piece that moves in the ocean breezes, known as Wind Ensemble. For the Cruiseship Promenade, the art program included local artists involvement. The concrete seatwalls lining the upper promenade include art tiles designed by 7 local artists - Adrian de la Pena, Veralee Bassler, Trace Fukahara, Roberto Delgato, Stuart Bender, Frank Charles Dante Minuto, and Slanguage - selected by a panel of their peers.

This community-based public art component, facilitated by the design team, enabled the artists, to have their designs rendered in tile through a photographic process. In this way, artists who may not normally work in this or any medium that lends itself to exterior application were given that opportunity. All of the artists incorporated local themes and subjects in their work.

Ghost Fish

This unique sculpture will be placed at the S.P. Slip in San Pedro.  It recalls San Pedro's long history as a commercial fishing hub.  The interior of the Ghost Fish sculpture will be filled with fishing mementoes and memorabilia gathered from local fishermen and their families. 

 

Cabrillo Way Marina

This redeveloped marina at 22nd and Miner Streets in San Pedro is currently under construction and will be completed in 2011.  The Cabrillo Way Marina will include 42.4 acres of land and 38.9 acres of water, a concrete dock system, 700 new boat slips, a mile of waterfront promenade and a public art piece of a ship in a bottle.
