Call to Artists: Beautifying Trash Bins Public Art Project

The City invites artists and artistic teams to participate in the Beautifying Trash Bins Public Art Project, an initiative to transform four new “bear box” style trash receptacles into vibrant works of art. This project aims to deter vandalism, enhance the visitor experience at the beach, pier, and promenade, promote cleanliness, and celebrate Ventura’s natural beauty and historical coastal landmarks. It also seeks to foster a sense of community and environmental stewardship.

This project is a collaboration between the City’s Environmental Sustainability Division and the Arts & Culture section.
