A heart plaque honoring Rachele Sullivan has been installed in Eagle Plaza. We thought it appropriate to hold the official plaque unveiling during Leather Week.
Rachele, who died in 2022 at the age of 54, was a cis straight ally and leatherwoman, one of the founders of our Cultural District, and a prominent figure in SOMA’s Filipino community. Rachele also served on the board of Folsom Street, helping to launch Venus’ Playground, the women’s space at the Folsom Street Fair.
Please join the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District and Friends of Eagle Plaza on Tuesday, September 24, at 6 pm, in Eagle Plaza (in front of the San Francisco Eagle, 398 12th Street) to share your memories and stories of Rachele.
Attendees will receive a memorial pin, as pictured above, donated by Eville Designs.
One of the three proposals for the fence of Rachele Sullivan Park
The San Francisco Arts Commission is conducting a review process to choose a proposal for artist-designed fence panels for the perimeter of Rachele Sullivan Park, running along 11th Street between Minna and Natoma Streets.
Three artists/artist teams were chosen as finalists by a Public Art Review Panel to design site-specific proposals for this artwork opportunity. The artists/artist teams are: Juan Manuel Carmona, Ricardo Estella and Ethel Revita of Creativity Explored, and Jenifer Wofford.
Juan Manuel Carmona was one of the team that painted the Oasis mural “Showtime” and was one of the artists who displayed their work at the Pride Popup salon show last year with Heron Arts.
The deadline for comments is 5 pm on Monday, September 30, 2024.
Public comments will be considered as part of the Final Review Panel meeting where the Panel will recommend one proposal for implementation. Please note that public comments do not constitute a vote.
The Final Review Panel meeting will take place remotely and will be open to the public. Watch this page, or www.sfartscommission.org, for meeting date and agenda.
