Input Needed to Choose Artwork for Richmond Library

As part of the Branch Library Improvement Art Enrichment Program, three Bay Area artists have been selected by the Richmond Branch Community Artist Selection Panel to prepare proposals for artwork to be displayed at the renovated Richmond Branch Library, located at 351 Ninth Ave.

The three semifinalists preparing proposals are Scott Donahue, who works with concrete and metal sculpture, Johanna Poethig, who works with tile mosaics, and Cork Marcheschi, who works with metal sculpture and lighting. Their proposals will be on display in the reading room at the Richmond Branch Library during regular branch hours: Mondays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Thursdays from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Fridays from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Forms for public comment about the proposals will be available at the library during the exhibition. Completed forms will be reviewed by a selection panel, which will then select a final proposal for the new Richmond Branch Library. The final proposal must be approved by the SF Arts Commission and reviewed by the SF Library Commission.
