Pacific View Art Center announces spring and summer camps; two public sculptures now installed
Summary
City staff reported Pacific View Art Center will host a spring art camp (ages 6–9), an eight‑week summer camp beginning the week of June 16, and that two sculptures — Neptune Junior and Wingman — are installed in city parks.
City cultural arts staff updated the Encinitas Commission for the Arts on programming at Pacific View Art Center and recent public art installations.
Assistant Center Manager Britt (reported at the meeting as assistant center manager) said Pacific View will hold its first spring art camp for ages 6 to 9, running 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with visual arts, fiber arts, printmaking, collage and weaving; campers will exhibit work at Art Night on April 5. Staff also said registration for summer art camp opened March 3 and that week one of the eight‑week summer program begins the week of June 16, with weekly themed sessions and aftercare; staff reported camps were filling quickly.
In the public art update staff reported two sculpture loan installations are in place: Neptune Junior at Leucadia Oaks Park and Wingman at Sun Vista Park. Staff said social media promotion and short videos (reels) were prepared to publicize the installations. Commissioners described seeing the sculptures and noted local skatepark users and other park visitors responded positively.
Other cultural programming noted in the staff update included the library’s Wednesday noon music series through March, a Music by the Sea concert on March 21, Art Night on April 5, and a partnership with Vet Art for Art in the Park starting March 15. Staff asked commissioners to spread word about open events and to note that even free programs can require staffing and facility costs, which staff said often requires additional funding or support.
