Celebrating culture and building community
Cultural institutions and local artists animate our communities, bringing disparate people together to share common experiences, stimulate imaginations, and help foster a rich and varied quality of life.
Recognizing the important role of this sector, the City and County of San Francisco passed an ordinance in 1969 requiring all city agencies to set aside 2% of all above ground construction costs for public art and arts enrichment.
Partnering with the San Francisco Arts Commission, we are aligning our capital arts investments and community arts education investments to enhance local cultural institutions and invest in local artists that live in the impacted communities we serve.
