Mayor Gavin Newsom today launched the Art and Storefronts pilot program, a new economic development initiative in Central Market and the Tenderloin. The program engages San Francisco-based artists to reinvigorate neighborhoods that have been hard-hit by the economic downturn.
Central Market and the Tenderloin will come alive for the launch of the highly-anticipated Art in Storefronts pilot program, which kicks off with eleven original window installations and two large-scale murals by San Francisco artists.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi appointed San Francisco’s own Arts Commissioner Lorraine García-Nakata and Director of Cultural Affairs Luis R. Cancel to serve on the commission.
Featuring Original Work by Bay-Area Artists Owen Smith, Jenifer K Wofford, Briana Miller and Thien Pham
