Overview

FOR-SITE Foundation connects contemporary artists with compelling natural and historic sites to create new art about place. Although FOR-SITE embraces an expansive definition of place, much of the foundation’s work has been grounded in a few distinctive sites. Exhibitions and installations have been organized at the historic Presidio of San Francisco, Fort Winfield Scott, Fort Point, Fort Mason, and Alcatraz Island. Nevada City, California, is the location of the FOR-SITE  artist residency and the Education Program.
