About

San Francisco’s streets, parks, and public spaces are home to an extraordinary collection of public art—from iconic sculptures along the Embarcadero to hidden murals in neighborhood alleyways. SF Art Map exists to celebrate and share these cultural treasures with residents and visitors alike. Our interactive platform makes it easy to discover the artwork that defines our city’s creative spirit, whether you’re planning a walking tour through the Mission or stumbling upon an unexpected installation in your own neighborhood.

Public art strengthens communities by transforming ordinary spaces into places of beauty, reflection, and conversation. For tourists, these works offer authentic glimpses into San Francisco’s diverse history and vibrant contemporary culture. For locals, they’re daily reminders of the creativity that makes our city unique. By documenting and mapping these artworks, we help ensure they’re appreciated, preserved, and accessible to everyone—not just those who happen to walk past them.

We believe art belongs to everyone, and our mission is to foster deeper engagement with the creative works that surround us. Through community contributions and collaborative mapping, SF Art Map grows richer every day as people share the artwork they encounter. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a curious explorer, or simply someone who loves San Francisco, we invite you to discover, document, and celebrate the public art that makes our city a living gallery.
