The Arts Commission announced certain details late Tuesday regarding the pilot program Art in Storefronts and the colorful launch planned, which will include live music and speeches by city officials.
The program, announced by Mayor Gavin Newsom to help offset the adverse impacts of empty storefronts on commercial corridors, officially launches Oct. 1 with a ceremony from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The launch will include the unveiling of the first 10 storefront windows designed by artists for locations along Market Street between Fifth and Eighth Streets. The ceremony is at 989 Market St. [sfexaminer.com]
