Arts Commission

Established by charter in 1932, the San Francisco Arts Commission is the city agency that champions the arts.

Here you will find a master of list of the policies and guidelines that govern our work organized by topic.

Here you will find official reports issued by the Arts Commission, such as our annual report, as well as documents that provide valuable information about the arts and culture field.

The San Francisco Arts Commission has engaged the Arts Management Consulting Firm, AMS Planning & Research (AMS) to help develop its next strategic plan, which will guide the work of the Arts Commission over the next five years. As a member of San Francisco's arts community, your input is crucial to this process. The Arts Commission hosted a series of community open houses and are administering a public survey to gather feedback on how the SFAC has been working, what it can do better, and what the agency's updated five-year strategic plan should prioritize. We invite you to take our Arts Community Public Survey. Visit: bit.ly/artsurveysfac
