Youth Art Exchange (YAX) invites artists who live or work in the Excelsior District of San Francisco to submit an application for the upcoming Excelsior Gateway Billboard Project. The Excelsior Gateway Billboard Project is funded by a Community Challenge Grant. The Excelsior Gateway Billboard Project is a limited duration art installation on a 14’ x 48’ billboard on the border of Daly City and San Francisco, focused on welcoming people or saying goodbye to the Excelsior through large scale visual pieces inspired by or connected to the Excelsior. Digital versions of the pieces may also be on display through YAX and other partner websites and related social media channels.

We are seeking 4 artists or artist teams (a collaboration of one or more artist) to participate in this project. A new artist or artist team will have their artwork featured every 8-10 weeks. Established, emerging, and student artists are encouraged to apply.

Artist Compensation: Artists or artist team will receive $4500 for their participation if selected.
