ART: WE THE PEOPLE
March 2 - 7
"We The People," is an amazing art installation that will be projected on San Francisco City Hall nightly from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Jock Mcdonald, a Bay Area artist, created the project in partnership with 55 members of Glide Memorial working directly with the SF Arts Commission and City Hall to go live. His ultimate goal is to project the work on the White House on July 4th!
The projections will be on the Polk Street side of City Hall and be around 40' tall. Here is the YouTube link for We The People - it's pretty incredible and very moving.
