Anaheim’s enormous $4 billion OCVIBE entertainment district project is overhauling the area around Honda Center, creating a new 100-acre gathering space with public parks, a state-of-the-art concert hall, a lively dining hall, and dozens of restaurants.
This month, OCVIBE joined forces with award-winning art and design studio FUTUREFORMS to create a public art program featuring more than 70 original artworks.
The program is designed to be fully integrated into the 100-acre district, creating an open-air gallery throughout the buildings, parks, and plazas.
Here’s a closer look.
Art at OCVIBE
The OCVIBE art program is planned to include a mix of permanent and rotating temporary installations, ranging from enormous sculptural landmarks to site-specific murals and small interactive pieces. A recent press release describes it as “one of the most diverse, curated collections of free, outdoor public art in the country.”
Construction is still ongoing throughout the OCVIBE campus, with early art installations taking form in the food hall and concert hall. As soon as this summer, some of the exterior pieces will be visible to the public from the 57 Freeway.
Some of the most anticipated artworks include:
- Stretto by Nataly Gattegno and Jason Kelly Johnson, FUTUREFORMS: A wave-like, sculptural screen installed on the exterior of the OCVIBE Concert Hall.
- Rhythm, Flavor, Motion, by Brian Peterson: A bold, colorful mural depicting figures that represent an intersection of music, food, and sport.
- Gratitude, by Carla Roque: A floral mural with a figure representing gratitude, joy, and celebration for the community.
- Sunrise – Sunset, by Marina Zumi: An installation composed of digital stitch patterns, inspired by the beauty of the Limestone Canyon and the sunsets of Huntington Beach.
The first phase of OCVIBE’s art program will be accessible to the public beginning in early 2027, accompanying the opening of the Katella Commons food hall and the 5,000-person concert hall.
By its anticipated completion in 2033, the OCVIBE district will boast 20 new acres of open space, more than 2,000 residences, two hotels, 3 miles of walkable trails, and over 35 distinct dining experiences.
