Ever Upward Gateway Project
The Excelsior Action Group is proud to announce the Mission Geneva Gateway project! This project aims to install a sculptural element into the newly landscaped sidewalk at the Northwest corner of Mission and Geneva. The sculpture will beautify this entrance to the Excelsior and display our diversity in culture. To make this project possible, the Excelsior Action Group received a Community Challenge Grant to work with the community in creating a neighborhood landmark and making the Excelsior's busiest intersection safer and more beautiful. In a series of public meetings organized by EAG, Excelsior community members have shared their ideas and shaped the designs of artists Isis Rodriguez and Jason Gilmore. When the designs are ready for installation, community volunteers will be instrumental in assembling the mosaic tiles on the base of the column. More information on the Mission l Geneva Gateway Project can be found here. |
