Bench Projects

Bench Projects is an artist-led public art platform that will rent advertising space at Oakland AC Transit bus stops to create six ‘bench galleries’ in North Oakland. The project will commission artists to create new site-responsive work and encourage community members – including public transit riders, pedestrians, cyclists and drivers – to engage more deeply in their surroundings.
