We left our hearts in San Francisco.
Hearts in San Francisco is a world-renowned public art project that raises critical support for our city’s only public hospital, Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center (ZSFG).
Each year, the Foundation commissions one-of-a-kind heart sculptures created by local artists. After the sculptures are displayed in San Francisco for the public to enjoy, each is auctioned in support of ZSFG. The sculpture auction makes Hearts in SF, the Foundation’s annual gala, a truly unique event, bringing together art, health care, and the support of an entire community.
For over 20 years, these sculptures have become a symbol of San Francisco’s support for the innovative, compassionate care provided to over 100,000 of our neighbors each year, most of whom are underinsured or uninsured. To date, Hearts in SF has raised more than $40 million to provide accessible, equitable, exceptional health care for all.

Find Them on the Map
Hearts in San Francisco sculptures can be spotted throughout the City and beyond! All of the ‘heartworks’ are privately owned and some are in easily discovered locations, such as the lobbies and storefronts of our generous corporate supporters, others are at the homes of private individuals. Out of respect for the privacy of our donors and supporters, we are unable to release a list of private locations for the hearts. But if you look closely around the City, we’re sure you’ll be able to spot a few. The most recognizable heart – Tony Bennett’s America’s Greatest City By the Bay – resides permanently on the corner of Powell and Post Streets in San Francisco’s Union Square. Enjoy!
