Hearts in San Francisco 2025
Building on 20 years of beautiful Hearts in San Francisco sculptures, the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation proudly announces the call for artists to create the 2025 Heart Sculptures. This year, we look to celebrate the vibrancy and revitalization of our beautiful city through art while raising critical funds to support health equity and innovation at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center (ZSFG).
We welcome submissions of artwork that add to the rich, cultural vitality of San Francisco. Each Heart not only captures a moment in time but is also a way for your art to truly save lives.
The Hearts in San Francisco project began in 2004 under the leadership of Nancy Bechtle and Ellen Magnin Newman. That year, 131 beautiful and inspired Heart Sculptures were designed by local artists. Each year since, San Francisco Bay Area artists have created a limited series of Heart Sculptures and showcased them at the Foundation’s annual February Hearts in SF Gala. These one-of-a-kind Heart Sculptures are auctioned to raise critical funds for the Foundation to support and fund excellence in patient care at ZSFG.
Join the ranks of twenty-one years of artists investing in a healthier San Francisco and submit your design for the 2025 series.
This year, the Foundation will commission 22 new Hearts for the 2025 series:
2 Large Hearts
10 Table Top Hearts
10 Mini Hearts
