Art Proposals for Gene Friend Recreation Center Public Art Project

The San Francisco Arts Commission is conducting a review process to choose an artist to create an integrated wall artwork for the interior north-facing wall of the gymnasium at the new Gene Friend Recreation Center at the corner of 6th and Folsom Streets. The artwork should illuminate the rich history and full diversity of San Francisco’s SOMA neighborhood including recognition of SOMA Pilipinas, the Filipino Cultural Heritage District. The artwork should also lift up the Center as a destination and proud neighborhood asset.
