2023 Highlights:

ESAW, the City of El Segundo, and Snap Inc. brought together artists and technologists to create new augmented reality (AR) murals and an interactive art map to unify public art in El Segundo. The official launch takes place Saturday, August 26^th. The City of El Segundo contributed $30,000 to this project through its Cultural Development Fund which is used to provide residential and business community members with public spaces, structures, and experiences that enhance the character of the city through the inclusion of art.
ESAW Magazine has gone digital this year! The magazine will highlight emerging artists, a famous aerospace artist of the past, a local rock 'n' roll clothing company, and augmented reality art map.

Can't wait for another great year!
