Project Description

Finding and cataloging San Francisco’s public art from the street.

At Code for America, we’re aiming to do is to help cities use the Internet to harness the power of cognitive surplus — the concept of many people coming together to do big things.

If all goes well, this project will create a pilot community of public art curators comprised of artists, people who love art and passionate technologists (who are often artists at heart themselves) to help find and catalogue San Francisco’s street art, murals, statues, paintings, and installations. It’s also a chance to experiment with mapping geolocated, crowd-sourced mobile imagery — something we hope to integrate in our mobile art app project.
