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 seven 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.

SP Slip

Coming soon will be some terrific public art at the SP Slip.  This wonderful area of the Port is on the border of Ports O' Call Village and is home to an active fleet of fishing boats.  Anchoring the area will be an iconic piece called "Ghost Fish." 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.

Also making a home at the SP Slip will be several teak seating pieces done in the maritime style.  These pieces are being created by local San Pedro artist Harold Greene.
