The San Francisco Arts Commission (SFAC) is seeking proposals for the Ingleside Police Station Replacement Public Art Project. Artists and artist teams residing in the United States, or represented by a U.S.-based gallery, may apply to create a two‑dimensional artwork (approximately 300 sq ft) for the interior wall of the station’s new Community Room. The project aims to reflect the history and character of the surrounding neighborhoods, fostering a welcoming civic space.
The commission offers a total project budget not to exceed $554,950, which includes artist fees, design, fabrication, insurance, transportation, and consultation. An additional $50,000 is earmarked for installation under a separate agreement. Finalists will receive a $3,000 honorarium for concept development and reimbursement for reasonable travel expenses.
Eligibility is limited to professional, practicing artists who reside in the United States or have representation from a U.S. gallery. Artists currently holding two active SFAC public‑art projects are ineligible. Applications must be submitted through SlideRoom by 11:59 PM PST on September 11, 2026. Required materials include a resume, letter of interest, statement of connection to the Ingleside neighborhoods, and up to ten images of previous work with descriptions. The selection process involves an Artist Qualification Panel, an Artist Review Panel, and final approval by the Visual Arts Committee and the full Arts Commission. Selected artist(s) will be contracted to deliver the artwork, with the project slated for completion in the summer of 2029.
