Art Proposals for the Mint Plaza Public Art Project

The San Francisco Arts Commission is conducting a selection process to choose an artist or artist team to create lighting or sculptural elements to be located at Mint Plaza along Jessie St. between Fifth and Mint St. The artwork is intended to activate the plaza in the evening so that the space is more welcoming to enter at night. Five artists were chosen as finalists by a Public Art Selection Panel to create site-specific proposals for this artwork opportunity: Future Cities Lab, HYBYCOZO, Haddad | Druggan, IwamotoScott, and Shan Shan Sheng.
