We’ve been busy building.💪
Not talking. Not caught up in the noise. Just doing.

✦ 500+ murals when the city felt most broken.
✦ 355 utility boxes painted into joy.
✦ 100 sculptures in the works... starting with one 45-foot tall woman.
✦ The largest recycled plastic sculpture on Earth.
✦ The world's largest augmented reality mural.
✦ Thousands of lives touched. Hundreds of artists paid, supported and empowered.

We’ve cleaned streets, funded grants, hijacked the F train, and turned everyday infrastructure into inspiration. Our job is simple: make the art happen, then get out of the way and let the art speak for itself.

But in case you're still curious... hi👋
We're Building 180, and we're just getting started.

Whatever happened to predictability? We work in public art. There was never any. 🤪 One sculpture, a Full House of characters, and a crew that deserved its own opening credits. 💛

🐟 Last chance to see Steelhead by @bryantedrickart on Big Art Loop!

The sculpture has been sold (yay 🎉) and will be deinstalled next week; heading to its new home at @kennethcarlestate in Healdsburg, California.

We love seeing public art find new audiences, new homes, and bring new opportunities for artists to create.

Take some time this weekend to explore the Loop and give Steelhead a proper send off!
