San Francisco Heart Art: A Large Look Back




Many San Francisco locals will recognize the heart art that popped up around the city in 2004. Those of you who didn’t get a chance to visit SF and stumble upon them then, here is a virtual chance for a tour. And for you locals- there may be a few here you missed. The hearts were installed on sidewalks, parks and street corners through out the city by over 130 artists. They were then auctioned off and raised nearly $2,000,000 for the SF General Hospital Foundation! One of the best public art events I have ever witnessed. Such a positive vibe to happen upon just out walking...

We put together a pretty large collection of the many hearts - here:
