Building 180

We push art beyond the expected.

Building 180 works at the intersection of art, imagination, and public space, turning ambitious creative visions into experiences that shift our perspective.

The world is our canvas.

Art Consulting

We help define what is possible before a project takes form.

Production

We support artists through the systems that surround large-scale work.

Civic Navigation

We guide public art through permits, politics, agencies, sites and approvals.

Realization

We manage the details, partners, logistics and timelines that get the work built.

Featured Work

Big Art Loop

Big Art Loop is a 34-mile sculpture trail that will host up to 100 monumental artworks across San Francisco. Our team handles jurisdictional approvals, technical requirements and public-space nuances to make this a reality.

Paint the Void

When the pandemic left our streets shuttered and our communities disconnected, Paint the Void was established to hire artists to paint neighborhood murals on boarded-up storefronts. This project turned crisis into connection and proved a scalable model for revitalization.

Charon World Tour × Les Machines de l’Île

Touring a 32-foot, 8-ton kinetic sculpture across five European cities over a two-year period is no small logistical feat. International freight, permits, insurance, engineering, crew coordination and five-day installations were all required to move Charon safely across borders on a world tour.

Golden Mile / Sunset Dunes

When major roadways in Golden Gate Park and along Great Highway were reimagined as car-free parks, the implementation of large-scale murals and sculptures assisted in turning policy into something people could feel.
