Arts District Liberty Station invites the community to discover its new Open-Air Gallery — a self-guided tour showcasing a wide range of murals, sculptures, and captivating public art, now available in English and Spanish.
Much of the Arts District’s public art collection is also accessible through an interactive online StoryMap, offering a fun and engaging way to explore and learn about the installations, including pieces from the Installations at the Station program and other artworks throughout the campus.
The Open-Air Gallery is part of the ongoing Art in Public Places (AiPP) programming, which gives visitors an immersive outdoor art experience.
“We wanted to offer the community a fresh, innovative way to experience the Arts District like never before,” said Lisa Johnson, president and CEO of Arts District Liberty Station. “With the launch of the new Open-Air Gallery and its accompanying bilingual website complete with audio, our public art is now even more accessible for visitors to learn about the creation process and inspiration behind each piece.”
Since 2000, Arts District Liberty Station has been one of San Diego’s arts and culture scenes, fostering creativity and providing a welcoming space for artists to explore and showcase their work.
In 2017, the organization launched Installations at the Station, a program designed to celebrate and highlight the vibrant, transborder visual arts community by commissioning both local San Diego and Northern Baja artists.
To take the tour, visitors can scan the QR code located by the signage of each public art piece. From there, they can explore the piece’s creation process, its inspiration, and discover behind-the-scenes imagery and audio from the artists themselves.
The website will then guide visitors to the next closest artwork, encouraging everyone to take an outdoor walking tour through the beautiful art on display. Visitors are encouraged to tag @artsdistrictlibertystation on Instagram and use the hashtag #ADLSopenairgallery to share their favorite piece.
2025 Installations at the Station Projects
In conjunction with the Open-Air Gallery launch, Arts District Liberty Station announced the selection of two local artists for the 2025 Installations at the Station program. As part of the Art in Public Places programming, Installations at the Station showcases visual art that celebrates the culture and diversity of the San Diego-Baja region through commissioned sculptures, murals, and other public art pieces.
After a thorough selection process, two local artists have been chosen to create site-specific art installations throughout the year.
Mischka Ippolita
Mischka Ippólita (she/her/they/them) is a multidisciplinary artist and textile designer based in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. Ippolita’s art combines microbiology with visual expression through Microbioart. Influenced by her grandmother and biologist Ernst Haeckel, she continues to push boundaries in both the art and science worlds.
The mural will be located behind Barracks 19, home to Wildflour, Apricot Yarn, and a variety of artist studios.
Beliz Iristay
Beliz Iristay (she/her) is a Turkish American multimedia artist known for blending cultural influences from her Turkish heritage and her experiences living in California and Mexico. After moving to the U.S. from Turkey, she established her ceramic studio, TURKMEX, in Ensenada, Mexico, where she continues to develop her artistic practice. Today, Iristay’s work spans various media, including ceramics, glass, resin, and video art, and often explores themes of identity, heritage, and cultural exchange.
Iristay’s installation will be located along the North Promenade by Barracks 16 and 17, which house La Galleria and Carruth Wine Cellars.
