Public Art

YBCA’s public art initiatives center the work of artists who are cultural anchors and change-makers. Across our campus—which includes the YBCA Grand Forum Building, the Blue Shield of California Theater, and the Yerba Buena Gardens—and out in community, our aim is to develop site-specific artworks and related interdisciplinary programming that explores some of the essential questions of our place and time.

See the full list of Public Art projects at YBCA and around San Francisco in our Calendar.
