2027 Art on Market Street Poster Series - Market Street: The Next 175 Years: Request for Qualifications
The San Francisco Arts Commission invites artists and artist teams residing in the United States to submit qualifications for 2027 Art on Market Street Poster Series.
The 2027 program theme is: Market Street: The Next 175 Years and will feature the work of four artists/artist teams with each series on view for a period of three months.
Built in 1851 as the “spine” of San Francisco, Market Street has seen many transformations over its 175+ year history. What do the next 175 years hold for this major thoroughfare, from now to the start of the 23rd Century? Artists are invited to imagine what the far-distant future holds. The project intersects with the 2017 @furthertriennial, whose mission is to “animate the cultural history and celebrate the creative present of Northern California.”
