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.

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
