The San Francisco Arts Commission is conducting a review process to choose an artist to design an artwork for a large interior and adjacent exterior wall located at the entrance to the new Portsmouth Square clubhouse. The artwork will measure approximately 600 square feet and may be comprised of a durable material, such as mosaic or ceramic tile. The goal of the project is to create an artwork that reflects the culture and spirit of community service in San Francisco Chinatown; offers a compelling indoor and outdoor narrative experience; strengthens the connection between Portsmouth Square and its new community clubhouse. Three artists were chosen as finalists by a Public Art Review Panel to design proposals for this opportunity: Kayan Cheung-Miaw, Jenifer K. Wofford, and Christine Wong Yap.

The San Francisco Arts Commission is conducting a review process to choose an artist to design an artwork for the Portsmouth Square entrance plaza, located at the corner of Walter U Lum and Washington Streets. The artwork will be a human-scale sculpture and comprised of durable, sustainable materials intended for exterior use, such as stone or metal. The goal of the project is to create an artwork that acts as a welcoming beacon to Portsmouth Square entrance plaza; is highly visible from the street; and draws people into the park space; and celebrates the people, history, and values of San Francisco’s Chinatown communities. Three artists/artist teams were chosen as finalists by a Public Art Review Panel to design proposals for this opportunity: lee + boles faw, Bijun Liang, and Cathy Lu.
