Civic Art Spaces and Exhibitions

The city of Encinitas Visual Art Program includes art exhibitions by local and regional artists at three civic art spaces:  Encinitas Community Center, Encinitas Library, and City Hall.

The exhibitions are a service to local artists, providing economic benefit from the sale of art and exposure to a wider audience while beautifying public buildings in Encinitas. The Civic Arts Program, established in 1998, serves artists, arts organizations, and the community through programs in the visual and performing arts, and is overseen by the Cultural Arts Division and Commission for the Arts.

For more information on the visual art program, please contact City staff at (760) 943-2121 or by email.
