OVERVIEW
SF COVID Command Center's Artist-in-Residence program provides local artists unprecedented access to the City's relief efforts with the goal of creating narrative documentation for future generations
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The COVID Command Center residency program, produced by the San Francisco Arts Commission (SFAC) in partnership with the Public Library and the CCC, gives four artists unprecedented access to the Command Center and the hundreds of City employees deployed as Disaster Service Workers. The artists embed one day a week for twelve weeks, both inside the CCC and in the community, and then create photo essays and illustrations reflecting on their experiences.
