✈️ Did you know today is National Paper Airplane Day?

A decade ago, a paper airplane sparked an idea. 
This week, it lands at Marina Green. 

Launch Intention by Griffin Loop began with a simple idea: what if a paper airplane could carry more than paper? Over the past decade, the sculpture has traveled across the country as a platform for community participation, inviting people to pause, reflect on what matters most, and share their intentions with one another. More than a sculpture, it's an invitation: a reminder that small ideas, when acted upon, can take flight.

Join us this Thursday for the public unveiling and community launch.

Artist Griffin Loop will also be on site to share the story behind the project and how a simple paper airplane grew into a nationwide public art movement.

Launch Intention is the newest addition to Big Art Loop, bringing another opportunity for connection, creativity, and discovery to San Francisco's public spaces.

🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛ An Attempted Murder is happening now in The Panhandle! 

The newest addition to Big Art Loop captures two crows, Tom and Lucinda, in a moment that feels both tense and familiar. Their posture suggests disagreement, maybe even conflict, yet they remain engaged, still facing one another.

Balancing humor with unease, An Attempted Murder invites reflection on how we navigate tension, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Visit the Panhandle to experience the work (and maybe keep an eye on your small dogs 😉)

We’re thrilled to officially welcome Seed of Self by to Big Art Loop. 👏

Installed at the western edge of the Panhandle, this glowing meditation sculpture offers a quiet pause within one of the city’s busiest corridors of movement. Split into two halves, past and future, it invites visitors to sit within the present moment, surrounded by reflection, light, and possibility.

By day, it creates space for stillness. By night, its warm inner glow transforms it into a beacon along the park’s edge.

Tag us when you experience it, and follow to stay updated on what's coming next!

📣Installing today in the Panhandle.

An Attempted Murder by Jack Champion features two monumental crows 🐦‍⬛ Tom and Lucinda 🐦‍⬛  frozen in a moment that feels both tense and strangely familiar.

Set among the real-life crows of Golden Gate Park, the sculpture reflects the friction of living alongside one another: disagreement, confrontation, conversation, coexistence.

Champion’s work balances humor, scale, and unease, transforming an everyday sight into something surreal and deeply human. In a city park full of movement, the piece creates a moment to pause and reflect on how we navigate tension, communication, and community.

We can’t wait for you to meet Tom and Lucinda in person. (Swipe to the end to see the welcoming committee that greeted us this morning!)

📣Coming next week to the Panhandle.

Seed of Self by Kate Raudenbush is a glowing monumental seed split into two halves: past and future. Between them, a meditation bench invites visitors to sit inside the present moment.

By day, the piece offers a quiet pause along a corridor defined by movement. By night, the sculpture glows from within, transforming into a warm beacon along the park's edge.

Every piece added to Big Art Loop is chosen with its surroundings in mind. For this site, we wanted a piece that could hold space for reflection in the middle of the city’s rhythm and a place people could return to again and again, whether for a moment of rest, conversation, or meditation.

We can’t wait to experience this sculpture for yourself.

If you’re out by the water this Mother’s Day… 

Start at Atabey’s Treasure at Brannan Street Wharf.🐠 The work draws from Taíno stories of Atabey, a figure tied to earth, water, and fertility, often seen as a symbol of creation.

Then continue up the waterfront, where you can pick up something to eat, grab some flowers, and discover a trail of public art along the way. 💐

Enjoy the weather, explore the Loop, and don’t forget to tag us while you’re there!
