SFPUC Millbrae operations center improvements public art project: Request For Proposals
The San Francisco Arts Commission invites artists and artist teams residing in the United States to submit qualifications for the Millbrae Operations Center Improvements Public Art Project.
The goals of the Millbrae Operations Center Improvements Public Art Project are as follows:
- Artwork reflects, evokes or is inspired by water, the activities of the Millbrae Operations Center, the operations of the SFPUC’s Water Enterprise Division, and/or SFPUC’s mission to provide high quality, efficient and reliable water in a manner that is inclusive of environmental and community interests, and that sustains the resources entrusted to their care.
- Artwork is made of durable and maintainable materials, suitable for an exterior location along a publicly accessible, pedestrian right-of-way.
- Artwork expresses the design identity of the new center, which is rooted in a regional and site-specific sense of place. This expression may highlight the ecological and cultural contexts of the San Francisco Bay Peninsula.
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,
