The San Francisco Arts Commission is conducting a review process to choose an artist to create an integrated wall artwork for the interior north-facing wall of the gymnasium at the new Gene Friend Recreation Center. Three artists were chosen as finalists by a public art review panel to design site-specific proposals for this artwork opportunity: Adrian Arias, Cece Carpio, and ChiChai Mateo.

The artwork should illuminate the rich history and full diversity of San Francisco’s SoMa neighborhood including recognition of SoMa Pilipinas, the Filipino Cultural Heritage District. The artwork should also lift up the facility as a destination and proud neighborhood asset.
