Scattered around the city are hundreds of heart-shaped murals created by Bay Area artists.

These murals capture the beauty and spirit of the city of San Francisco. The heart art made their debut in 2004, and they have captured the hearts of locals and tourists alike ever since.

This year marks the 150th anniversary of San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center, the founders of the heart project.

To celebrate this, 33 new hearts were unveiled at San Francisco’s Ferry Building on Jan. 25.

These hearts were shortly auctioned off on Feb. 9, at the 2023 Hearts in SF auction.

The public art pieces are a must-see in this 7 by 7 mile town we call San Francisco, and serve as the beating heart of many of the sights and sounds you will see in the city.
