San Francisco, CA + Port Pier 92

The Port of San Francisco has retained the Arts Commission to assist in the commissioning of a public artwork to be located at Pier 92, near the intersection of Illinois and Cargo Way, along San Francisco's southern waterfront. Artwork opportunities may include a mural or kinetic artwork on the exterior wall of the northern grain silo or a lighting or multi-media project that illuminates or projects on the cranes or silos in the day or at night. Pier 92 is located at the entrance to the Bayview community and the artwork should make a strong visual statement in keeping with the gateway experience and industrial setting. The work should enliven the area and bring a sense of transformation to the site. The artwork should also have a visual impact from a distance as the silos and cranes are highly visible from surrounding neighborhoods, as well as the 280 and 101 freeways. The work should recognize the maritime and other areas of history of the site. The artwork is considered a long-term temporary installation, expected to be in a place for a minimum of 5 years. The artwork will be reversible in that it may be painted over or removed. Artists should note that there are some limitations for access to the artwork sites. For example, access to the cranes is only feasible from the water, and while the interior staircase of the northern silo is accessible, the interior of the southern silo is not. The Port will work closely with the artist finalists to provide more information during the proposal development phase.
The site is primarily an industrial area with shipping cranes and two large grain silos that have not been in use since the 1970s. While the majority of traffic along Cargo Way is industrial, the Blue Greenway project will create open spaces along the waterfront that will attract a diversity of activities for Bay Area residents and visitors to the City.

Deadline: July 09, 2012, 11:59 PM
Eligibility: Open to professional, practicing artists residing in the Western Regions of the United States.
Budget: $190,000

Your Town, USA + Museum Assessment Program Application

The American Association of Museums provides guidance in meeting priorities and goals and understanding how your museum compares to standards and best practices. Since 1981, the Museum Assessment Program (MAP) has helped museums maintain and improve operations through a confidential, consultative process. Participating in MAP can help: prioritize goals so you can allocate resources wisely, document your needs so that you can make a stronger case to funders, provide recommendations on ways to become an even stronger institution. In less than a year, your museum can complete a self-study, have a site visit by a peer reviewer and begin implementing recommendations.
