Guadalupe River Art Walk
2022: Year Six
We are continuing our partnership with the Guadalupe River Park Conservancy to bring the “Bay Area’s Longest Public Art Corridor.” During the pandemic of 2020-2021, we created a series of three Artist-in-Residencies to bring art that fosters community resiliency, attracts park users, and sparks inspiration and social healing.
For 2022, we are back to create 10 new installations at 5 sites along the Guadalupe River Trail. Due to the on-going pandemic, we have decided to keep the artist roster hyperlocal to the amazing talents we have right in our Bay Area.
The long term goal is to create San Jose’s first longest public art corridor that will encourage long-term trail and park usage which will provide activities that promote health and wellness, both physically and mentally, and are of increased need in urban areas, and especially in our current global situation.
