Deadline: July 16, 2008 - The San Francisco Arts Commission is seeking to establish a pre-qualified pool of professional artists for consideration for a variety of public art projects located at San Francisco International Airport. We encourage artists using a variety of artistic approaches and media to apply. With the opening of the new International Terminal in 2000, the old international terminal, Terminal 2, closed. Terminal 2 is now being completely remodeled as a domestic terminal, with Virgin America being the primary carrier that will fly out of the terminal when construction is complete. The remodeled terminal will provide multiple opportunities for artists working in a variety of media. Project opportunities may include, but are not limited to:
-The glass curtain wall at the entry of the terminal
- Suspended artworks
- Artworks that feature the use of either or both artificial and natural light

Applications available through CaFÉ; www.callforentry.org, an on-line application system for calls for entry. There is no charge to artists for using CaFÉ. If you are a first time user of CaFÉ, please allow adequate time to learn the use of this system. For further information please call Susan Pontious, Public Art Program Deputy Director at (415) 252-2587, susan.pontious@sfgov.org, or Ellen Shershow, the Public Art Program Associate, at (415) 252-2594; ellen.shershow@sfgov.org
