The San Francisco Arts Commission invites artists and artist teams residing in the United States to submit qualifications for The Geneva Car Barn Temporary Mural Project.
Located in the Ocean View-Merced Heights-Ingleside area of San Francisco, the Geneva Car Barn was originally constructed in 1901 as part of the City’s electric streetcar infrastructure.
The San Francisco Arts Commission (SFAC), in collaboration with the Recreation & Parks Department (RPD) and Community Arts Stabilization Trust (CAST), is developing a community-engaged temporary exterior artwork project to support neighborhood visibility, cultural identity, and community storytelling.
The temporary mural will measure approximately 800 sq. ft. and will be installed along the west-facing façade and turret on the first and second-level exterior windows.
The goals of the Geneva Car Barn Temporary Mural Project are as follows:
- Honor the historic and cultural significance of the Geneva Car Barn.
- Establish the site as an art and culture center and youth arts educational hub.
- Develop the artwork through a series of community engagement activities with local community members and organizations, informing both the design and implementation.
- Provide a community benefit by supporting artist(s) with a meaningful connection to the Excelsior/Outer Mission/OMI neighborhoods.
