Description Program Srvc AccomTHE SAN JOSE DOWNTOWN FOUNDATION ADVANCES A VIBRANT DOWNTOWN BY FOSTERING CULTURAL AWARENESS AND COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION THROUGH ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION PROGRAMS. CORE VALUES INCLUDE BEING INCLUSIVE AND OPEN; VALUING CREATIVITY AND QUALITY; WORKING COLLABORATIVELY; COMMITTING TO THE SUCCESS OF PROGRAMS SUPPORTED BY SJDF; AND HAVING AN ENTERPRISING SPIRIT. DOWNTOWN DOORS, AN INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ART EXHIBIT/COMPETITION, IS THE FOUNDATION'S PRIMARY PROJECT AND ENLIVENS THE DOWNTOWN SAN JOSE LANDSCAPE FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PASSERSBY. DURING THE ABNORMAL PANDEMIC YEARS, THE PROGRAM WAS ALTERED TO HAVE THE JUDGES CONSIDER THE SAME POOL OF ART SUBMITTED IN MARCH 2020 FOR TWO ROUNDS THAT YEAR. THE ARTIST RECEPTION WAS HELD VIRTUALLY. THE PROCESS STARTS WITH MIDDLE-/HIGH-SCHOOL ARTISTS WORK WITH TEACHERS - IN A CHARACTER-BUILDING EXERCISE THAT ALSO ENABLES THEM TO DEVELOP ARTISTIC SKILLS, LEARN ABOUT ART AS BUSINESS, AND UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF PUBLIC ART ON URBAN SPACES - TO CREATE ART MEANT TO FIT ONTO OTHERWISE STARK SINGLE- AND DOUBLE-PANELED SERVICE DOORS,THE KIND REQUIRED FOR FIRE CODES IN LARGE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. THE NORMAL SUBMISSION TIMELINE WILL RETURN IN 2022. SUBMISSIONS ARE MADE IN EARLY WINTER, THE ART IS JUDGED EARLY SPRING; SELECTED PIECES ARE TRANSFERRED IN MAY/JUNE TO VINYL DECALS COVERING DOORS LOCATED IN HIGH-PEDESTRIAN AREAS. THE ART IS FEATURED SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE BEING REPLACED. THE PROGRAM HAS GROWN FROM 4 SITES IN 2003 TO OVER 115 BY 2020, 1 SCHOOL TO 25, AND 8 SUBMISSIONS PER YEAR FOR AN AVERAGE OF 160. IN 17 YEARS, THIS SIMPLE BUTIMPACTFUL PROGRAM WILL HAVE EXHIBITED OVER 250 DIFFERENT WORKS.DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt
