Launched by FOR-SITE in 2023, The Guardhouse Program invites three artists each year to activate a former military guard station at the main entrance to Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, presenting new work that responds to the natural and cultural significance of the site and its surroundings.
FOR-SITE is thrilled to extend an open call for artists interested in developing new work this spring and summer 2023 for installations opening to the public this summer and fall 2023, respectively.
Selected through an open call for proposals, artists work closely with FOR-SITE to develop their proposed ideas for the 100-square-foot, freestanding building. Their resulting installations are viewable through the windows 24 hours a day, complemented by programs custom-designed to engage public audiences and highlight the ideas explored in their work.
