Public Art

San Francisco is home to one of the largest and most diverse public art collections in the country.

The Civic Art Collection encompasses over 3,500 objects that range from historic monuments to contemporary works commissioned through the City's percent-for-art program.

The Arts Commission is currently working on long-term public art projects for several massive capital projects such as the Central Subway, San Francisco International Airport and the new Van Ness Bus Rapid Transit.

Over the years, the Arts Commission has presented temporary art installations by some of the world's greatest artists in some of the city's most iconic public spaces.
