Crafting a 21st-century Public Art Program
San Marcos, California is a vibrant and growing city in San Diego County, home to
California State University San Marcos (CSUSM). North City, a new mixed-use development, encompasses 200 acres of residential units, hotels, retail, and office space connected through public spaces.
DVDL is working to implement a public art and cultural plan for North City and developing a set of urban principles and an activation plan with programs that combine public art, culture, mental and physical well-being, and public space to be integrated into the ongoing, multi-phase developments.
