SAN FRANCISCO, CA — We are thrilled to debut the 2024 Hearts in San Francisco sculptures at the San Francisco Ferry Building Marketplace. The 17 new Hearts will be joined by four additional 20th Anniversary Collection Hearts from the special 20th-anniversary celebration year. These Large, Table Top, and Mini Hearts will be on display throughout the Marketplace beginning January 9th, 2024, and will remain at the Ferry Building until February 29th, 2024, with a brief hiatus from February 5th through 9th for the 2024 Hearts in SF Gala, taking place on February 8th at The Conservatory at One Sansome. All Hearts will be available as a part of the Hearts in SF auction, benefitting Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center, beginning February 1st.
We will host an exclusive press unveiling event on Monday, January 8th, 2024, from 5:00 to 6:30 pm at the Port Room in the Ferry Building. As a historic landmark and central hub of San Francisco, the Ferry Building holds special significance. We’re honored for the opportunity to showcase the immense talent of our 2024 ‘Heartists’ for the enjoyment of both our community and visitors.
On display will be 21 Hearts: six Large, six Table Top, and nine Mini. The Large Hearts will be located near the entrances, and the Table Top and Mini Hearts will be displayed on pedestals throughout the building between vendors.
