Staff also noted upcoming Music by the Sea concerts, including weekend performances at Moonlight Beach, and advised commissioners that tickets have been selling quickly.

Other updates: the commission heard that the exhibition-proposal window for 2026 is open to artists (information and links available via the city arts web page) and that a youth piano concerto competition has advanced finalists who will perform with the North Coast Symphony Orchestra on June 14.

Ending: Staff encouraged commissioners and the public to register for summer programs, added that wait lists will be used to add sessions, and said staff will circulate program surveys and further details at future meetings.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Encinitas Arts Commission Meeting 4/07/25","oneSentenceSummary","Staff reported a sold-out spring break Pacific View camp, plans for eight weeks of summer camp, continued Pacific View Sessions recordings, Music by the Sea concerts and an open 2026 exhibition proposal window.","taxTitle","Encinitas, San Diego County, California","taxId",3828,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6611737,"Oceanside Museum of Art outlines regional education programs, free access and school partnerships",825,2075000,2900000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2892972-ed17254ca8bb0ab5445bcb13fbd16013&start=2075&end=2900","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2892972-ed17254ca8bb0ab5445bcb13fbd16013/thumbnail_2075000.jpg","/articles/6611737/Encinitas/San-Diego-County/California/Oceanside-Museum-of-Art-outlines-regional-education-programs-free-access-and-school-partnerships","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6611737-73a092a7331c54244f0bca113ef80c9b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770900551&Signature=V7MnreAApXb2Ij1jls7u6NjsQlk4~L9J0l6UVTYGIG7Kls69v7XJe8nUP0TgH1gS28APr3gxqt7fNluOkqZAXVJqcNudmfVtagek2Q6FeBuPZoeut49a4JxjPUGuz4V-DlqwQ7xhDdQOID1Chqu7cc8atOPRrLwS3VBwacwQZfi2q-m8Nb31~ig~2-d7eKqJjEUGWxxr1Lbj659UCGEHTMdmckYZDDZBDJ7TScX68OjRxgHu1DiIgpP4syWVZMF~XEpsMN4HUdwDJVDEXeA3roVmuUfS3~ZNF6StAQva4N-xgqdLa7F8yK~mgVvTqf~2i9DpeLxgAvn-hc~6hlkuQg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Allison Hanley, president of the board of directors at the Oceanside Museum of Art, addressed the Encinitas commission April 7 and described the museum’s education, outreach and tourism work across North County. Hanley said OMA recorded 30,937 visitors in 2023 and that about 50% of visitors experienced the museum free of charge through programs such as Blue Star Museums and Art for All Sundays.

Hanley highlighted two donor-funded school programs: “Literacy through Art” for third grade and “ArtQuest” for fifth grade. She said those programs serve 100% of third- and fifth-grade students in Oceanside Public Schools in a typical year and are aligned to California state curriculum standards. Hanley noted the museum partners with schools on teacher professional development and embeds pre-visit preparation and post-visit continuation activities in each program.

Why it matters: Hanley said the museum’s school programs are especially important in a district where 15 of 16 public schools are Title I, and that museum partnerships expand access for students who might otherwise lack arts exposure. She also described the museum’s participation in the California Cultural District program and OMA’s role in encouraging arts tourism and partnerships with hotels and downtown stakeholders.

Programs and partnerships: Hanley said OMA works with community colleges and universities, runs docent-led programs and is affiliated with a small satellite gallery called OMA West. She described donor-funded initiatives that allowed artists’ works to be purchased and displayed in area hotels, providing income and exposure to local artists during and after COVID-era construction.

Ending: Hanley invited commissioners to visit the museum, take docent-led tours and consider collaborative programming with Encinitas, including opportunities to expand school partnerships and cross-jurisdictional arts education in North County.","Allison Hanley, board president of the Oceanside Museum of Art, described education programs that serve Oceanside third- and fifth-grade students, free public-access initiatives and the museum’s role in regional cultural tourism.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6611742,"Encinitas archivist says city has roughly 800 public artworks; calls for online inventory and partnerships",832,220000,1052000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2892972-ed17254ca8bb0ab5445bcb13fbd16013&start=220&end=1052","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2892972-ed17254ca8bb0ab5445bcb13fbd16013/thumbnail_220000.jpg","/articles/6611742/Encinitas/San-Diego-County/California/Encinitas-archivist-says-city-has-roughly-800-public-artworks-calls-for-online-inventory-and-partnerships","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6611742-e9fa41c0cfb6089f3f41d457d8a6c9e4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770900551&Signature=BL72dOpB8LNPIjaDp1SbQuRb-j~1O7R2l6-wgQ4Hftu2tcMOxhRUjLmbNM-ExkWyewLB4Qz4tP2BfDeFEkLEgpB440LoPmQId5JpWxlyNvybxHPehmEenAcQRLJaKa1t~pmZMyRTReX84uEr3FdXRhdjPHFHktRiEZtdNstiJiJZUBaFoJvLpBVeDFMuVkklBcliyr7uixdcmK1m5i0xaXyl4e~aO8D~S9S566FwiPMRBCkBibtnXXcAvexH~6bLMzXcTQ7ceqXWB5lofWAA5JdftjTwaR25vcXWAy3ulaP7xhBOFqZC~o33kQpvt596wVqozYW5gzg-8hP3xcyROg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Hillel Schwartz, archivist with the Encinitas Historical Society, told the commission April 7 that his ongoing inventory effort has documented roughly 803 works of public art visible today in Encinitas and called on the city and local partners to create a durable digital index.

Schwartz told commissioners that his count — West of Interstate 5 and east combined — includes works on private and public property that are “fully and freely visible to an undifferentiated public.” His inventory, he said, currently lists 571 works west of I-5 (60 of those have vanished) and 157 east of I-5 (five vanished), plus about 40 distinct painted or crafted mailboxes, producing a present-day total of 803 works.

Schwartz described the city’s public-art landscape as unusually varied and ubiquitous, including mosaics, murals, painted mailboxes, sculptures, mobile-home murals, ocean-view installation pieces and privately maintained “art gardens.” He pointed to the city’s existing ArcGIS story map for the Santa Fe underpass — which lists 53 mosaics — and said similar digital documentation is needed for other sites, including recent mosaics at the El Portal pedestrian underpass.

Why it matters: Schwartz said a comprehensive, maintainable inventory would honor artists, preserve backstories and help promote Encinitas as a destination for public art. He recommended a dynamic GIS map that would allow users to click a dot to view a photograph, artist name, title, medium, year, dimensions and related tours by artist, genre or neighborhood.

Partnerships and next steps: Schwartz said Visit Encinitas is already working with his inventory and with four MiraCosta College design students to create a bicycling tour of about 90 images along the Highway 101 corridor. He asked the commission for volunteers to help locate missing photos and artist names, and urged the cultural-arts department and the Historical Society to create a submission function that allows artists and residents to add new works.

Examples and context: Schwartz showed images from Leucadia, Cardiff and San Elijo, and cited the Dave Dean rock art garden at Moonlight Beach as an example of a highly visited, community-driven site. He said some works have disappeared because buildings were demolished or owners changed. The inventory, he said, aims to record both extant artworks and those lost to demolition or decay.

Ending: Schwartz asked the commission to help make the case that public art is already abundant in Encinitas and could be better mapped, maintained and promoted through modest digitization, volunteer support and targeted grants or donors.","Hillel Schwartz of the Encinitas Historical Society presented a multi-year inventory that documents more than 800 public artworks in Encinitas and urged a digital map, volunteer contributions and collaboration with Visit Encinitas and MiraCosta students.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6611745,"Encinitas arts commission approves revised sculpture-loan process, establishes mission for public art",2378,4226000,6604000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2892972-ed17254ca8bb0ab5445bcb13fbd16013&start=4226&end=6604","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2892972-ed17254ca8bb0ab5445bcb13fbd16013/thumbnail_4226000.jpg","/articles/6611745/Encinitas/San-Diego-County/California/Encinitas-arts-commission-approves-revised-sculpture-loan-process-establishes-mission-for-public-art","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6611745-371682a72a524bc3f7eb095ccb304f30/orig.mp4?Expires=1770900551&Signature=OfVBNNkD5cAQ1IqPHMClU1IkEu5MSLcy5kOuHh6LAnWJmktkq~IVUASdj1E93E4bW3xt36kTl75pfT9JRPtoLmClT4v4fRsvRAviHMbbImOammuFBzzJPORVdTRFuihM2V7UikEDWBM2gIXRT5EybvX0nExx~nfVZy1N3dPAjGoEv0d3yek0Ua7lxvrFD284TiicUu4KAyLlm0jJftEco27HXsaXDUFC5vrvaEqeT8bbVVu0DEgboNqsWgM62kma161GypiNcLBJ4CQVZjRo10esIbyJUHIiQpTFC6YOUWpvwgVSNXEVUHGRHzjIrJEagQuZk~WarT8ynH97a-UT-Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Encinitas Commission for the Arts voted April 7 to adopt a revised sculpture-loan process that formalizes selection criteria, establishes a mission for public art and creates a multi-step jurying review before recommendations are forwarded to city council.

The commission’s recommended mission reads, in full: “Public art in Encinitas tells a story that shifts our moment in an uplifting way that unifies us in new perspectives, and celebrates our unique culture.” Commissioners said that mission — drafted from public engagement — will guide call materials, juror briefings and the written rubric used by both a jury panel and individual commissioners.

Why it matters: commissioners and staff said a clearer, mission-aligned process should reduce popularity-contest outcomes and make the city’s loan program more transparent and defensible when a recommended work goes to council. The loan program places temporary sculptures in public sites so residents encounter changing works over time; loan durations discussed in the presentation are two years.

How the new process will work: staff will post a call for artists tied directly to the mission statement and site briefs. An ad hoc panel from the commission plus five nominated community jurors will evaluate submissions and advance 10–15 finalists per call. Those finalists will be reviewed by each commissioner individually using a standard rubric that breaks the mission into three evaluative parts; commissioners will each nominate up to two works per site. The full commission meeting will be the public-decision forum where public comment is read and the commission finalizes its recommendation to council. Staff will compile the individual commissioner reviews into the meeting packet.

Program details and limits noted during the discussion: the loan program is not a commission for site-specific permanent pieces; it is intended to rotate existing sculptures on loan. Staff told the commission that insurance is not currently covered by the city in the existing program and that stipend amounts were not being recommended for increase in this action. The ad hoc and staff also prepared site briefs (maps, photos and site personality notes) to help jurors and reviewers evaluate fit for each location.

Public engagement and research: commissioners described a public-insights process used to craft the mission. The ad hoc engaged a local insights consultant and a survey methodologist, ran focus groups and random intercepts, and reviewed email comments from prior outreach. Commissioners and staff stressed further outreach would continue between commission recommendation and the council report, and that artist statements and on-site placards would be used for programming and context once sculptures are installed.

Formal action: the commission moved to approve the recommended mission statement and the jurying/selection process as presented. The motion passed at the meeting; the record states the motion passed with all commissioners voting yes and Commissioner Kadakia absent.

Next steps: staff will compile the ad hoc’s material and the draft process into an agenda report for the city council. The ad hoc will work with staff on the final packet, which commission members said should include the jury rubric, site briefs and outreach documentation for council review.

Ending: Commissioners and several members of the public and artists said they hope the clarified process will encourage more submissions, make artist selection more transparent and increase opportunities for commissions, public programming and rotating visual interest in Encinitas parks and public spaces.","The Encinitas Commission for the Arts voted April 7 to adopt a mission-driven, multi-step jurying process for the city’s temporary sculpture loan program and recommended staff forward the revised program to council.","actionData","errors"]
