CALL FOR ARTISTS

Sea Lion Public Art Project

Artist-Designed Sea Lion Mother & Pup Sculptures

The Pbid, in collaboration with Arts United San Pedro, invites artists to submit proposals to transform two fiberglass sea lion sculptures—a mother and her pup—into a unique work of public art celebrating San Pedro’s creative community, coastal environment, and connection to the Los Angeles Harbor.

The PBID is a Non Profit that encompasses a District which includes more than 795 parcels of properties in Downtown San Pedro and along the LA Waterfront. Discover San Pedro, administered by the San Pedro Historic Waterfront Business Improvement District (SPHWBID), is a coalition of property owners committed to enhancing the quality of life along the Downtown San Pedro Waterfront. It aims to help the downtown district achieve its full potential as a great place to own a business, visit, work or live. To assure that Downtown San Pedro is safe and clean, the SPPOA’s team of maintenance, safety and customer service staff builds on the services provided by the City of Los Angeles.
