Civic Center Plaza Temporary Sculpture: Request For Proposals
The San Francisco Arts Commission (SFAC) invites artists and artist teams residing in the United States to submit proposals for the temporary display of an existing freestanding sculpture, or series of sculptures, of prominent scale in San Francisco’s Civic Center Plaza, located in front of City Hall.
Organized in support of Shaping Legacy, a Mellon Foundation funded initiative to critically examine and reimagine San Francisco’s monuments and memorials, this project supports a creative exploration of how public art can foster a more inclusive and representative civic narrative. The selected sculpture should embody inclusive histories, invite community dialogue, and enrich the collective understanding of civic memory and belonging. It should also demonstrate a strong visual presence that responds to the scale and formality of Civic Center Plaza,
