LeatherWalk is an exciting opportunity for visibility and fun, as community members help raise $22,000 to support the District’s Leather Legacy Landmarks sidewalk plaques initiative, honoring iconic SOMA locations that started serving the community in the 1960s. We plan to install plaques at 77 historic locations. Key plaques will be featured on the District’s guided walking tours, new dates coming soon.

Artwork Proposals for 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.  

View the three proposals

Please take a few minutes to review all three proposals, and provide your feedback to the Commission:
