Events
Throughout 2020, our city-wide arts takeover—held in collaboration with community-based organizations and Art+Action’s Coalition Partners—we are calling on artists across disciplines to remove the barriers to Census participation in their communities by making the intangible tangible and speaking directly to the hearts and minds of San Franciscans.
We’ll also highlight Census events put on by our Coalition Partners near and far so you can COME TO YOUR CENSUS anywhere. All events are free, open to the public, and family-friendly, unless noted otherwise. Check back frequently, as new inspiring events will be added regularly.
