38 ArtSpan artists featured!
ArtSpan is partnering with LPC West Transit Management LLC and the Transbay Joint Powers Authority to highlight and support the local artist community in San Francisco.
38 ArtSpan Artists and their teams were selected to paint murals covering 10,052 square feet of the ground level retail storefront windows at the new Salesforce Transit Center. Murals will remain on display to mask the vacant interior spaces as they await new retail tenants.
Artists were asked to create imagery related to the theme of “Dynamism” to engage passersby and captivate viewers with a true local character and unique aesthetic.
Artists started painting on August 3, as the Transit Center prepared for the Grand Opening. Join ArtSpan at the Block Party for the mural unveiling, featuring live painting performance by the following artists and more!
