San Diego Council for Arts & Architecture Call for Entries
Who We Are
The San Diego Council for Arts and Architecture is made up of members of the AEC and arts community focused on creating opportunities for Architects, Designers and Artists to communicate and collaborate. The SDCAA will be hosting and collaborating on lectures, panel discussions, performances, and events that creatively challenge perspectives and inspire collaboration. Programs investigate the relationship between artists, architects, and designers - focusing on the intersection of art and its integration into the design process, and its potential to reframe public spaces as sites for engagement. Our goal is to encourage our members to share their hidden talents or to engage with and or identify artists that they would like to work with or learn more about. The SDCAA will host an ongoing series of public events and exhibitions that will examine the collective experience between Art and Architecture, Design and Process, Built and Un-Built, and Past, Present and Future.
Project Description
We are pleased to announce the launch of an Art and Architecture series with an exhibition that explores the intersection of Artist and Architect. The kickoff event is an exhibit of local Architects, Designers and Artists engaged in creating art and being inspired by the work of others. Through the process of Projection Mapping; Jury selected artwork will be integrated throughout the evening’s event filling the space with a dynamic atmosphere and presenting local talents.
