Public Art
DOWNTOWN
The City of Bridgeport’s Office of Planning and Economic Development (OPED) and the Downtown Special Services District (DSSD) are collaborating to ‘Color In’ the Downtown by commissioning public artworks throughout the City’s fastest growing neighborhood. These projects have taken the form of murals, sculptures, innovative seating, pop-up skating events, a piano and more.
If you are an artist looking to participate in this year’s projects, be sure to follow the DSSD’s website and social media.
CITYWIDE
Following the positive reception of the Downtown projects, OPED is looking to engage the surrounding neighborhoods for the next series of art & placemaking projects with support from City Council and the Mayor’s Office. Conversations are ongoing to coordinate efforts with the local Neighborhood Revitalization Zones (NRZs). As part of this process, we would like to hear where residents would like to see art.
