#FultonPlaza

Illuminate is working to revitalize a challenging piece of San Francisco’s mid-Market area.

Using large-scale art, an extraordinary lighting installation, and live music, Illuminate is adding vibrancy to Fulton Plaza – which sits at the doorstep of San Francisco City Hall between the Asian Art Museum and the San Francisco Main Public Library.

The project is a partnership of Illuminate, San Francisco Recreation and Parks, San Francisco Public Library, Friends of the San Francisco Library, and the Civic Center Community Benefit District (CCCBD).

The third phase of the project features a massive programmable LED installation above the plaza – strung from the roofs of the Asian Art Museum and the San Francisco Public Library. Created by artist Joshua Hubert, the piece includes 1,200+ individually controllable LEDs, set in a sloping wave configuration. The two-year temporary array will reflect artful patterns of color and will increase overall ambient light.
