We believe in the vibrant spirit of the arts in San Francisco and want to help bring it to the forefront of this beautiful city.

We at Arts Humanitas 501(c)(3) want to highlight the incredible artists in San Francisco and celebrate its vibrant arts community. Ultimately, we envision San Francisco as the next international destination for the arts and its Biennale.

is an art exhibition held every two years. It is guided by a high-level, overarching theme that relates to social, ethical, or pressing contemporary issues. Curators and art professionals thoughtfully select artworks and artists in accordance with the ethos and theme of the biennale, which also includes focused, moderated talks, seminars, and workshops.

We believe that a Biennale amplifies our mission and will ultimately benefit the City of San Francisco. We aim to curate a cultural biennial featuring artist awards, insightful talks, and creative publications through which we will actively recognize a select group of the best San Francisco artists. We plan to organize the first edition of San Francisco Biennale of Contemporary Art to generate new and diverse excitement about the city, with consistent efforts to attract more art visitors.

To further our service, our next goals will be to:

- develop and maintain a highly visible online platform that serves as the reference point for contemporary San Francisco artists and other participating artists

- foster a supportive community among art professionals, contemporary artists, art collectors, art supporters, and related organizations in San Francisco and eventually around the world.

The San Francisco Biennale of Contemporary Art aims to be a multi-day event that recognizes excellence in the arts and provides additional support for the winning artists.
