San Diego International Airport’s Arts Program is celebrating the joint designation of San Diego and Tijuana as the 2024 World Design Capital (WDC) through our upcoming temporary exhibition. The Arts Program invites artists, curators, and cultural, community, or educational organizations working in all media to submit proposals that showcase the culture of our binational region as they explore the border of art and design. This exhibition theme will investigate how artists use art and design both for function, and to reveal what is important to the creators and their audience. Selected artwork and collections representing the theme will be displayed throughout the airport for up to one year beginning in January 2024. Up to twenty participating artists and/or organizations will be chosen for the exhibition, each will receive a stipend of $1,000. Submissions of existing, in-process and/or new work are welcome.
An online information session will be held on Tuesday, June 13, 5 p.m. PDT to answer any questions for interested submitters. The link to that meeting can be accessed here.
Proposals are due Monday, June 26, 2023, 11:59 p.m. PDT.
