Overview

The FOR-SITE Foundation’s acclaimed exhibitions and installations offer new ways to experience the natural and cultural resources of public parks and historic places with groundbreaking projects commissioned for San Francisco’s Presidio, Fort Point, and Alcatraz Island. FOR-SITE has created an innovative model for artistic collaborations on national park land and also collaborates with partner museums to present projects created in the foundation’s artist residency program, extending the artists’ work into the public realm.
