👀 Have you noticed that San Francisco’s Market Street stations have a new look? 🌉
The canopies are being constructed as part of the San Francisco Station Canopy Project, happening in tandem with BART’s San Francisco Station Escalator Replacement project, which is installing and replacing escalators at Embarcadero, Montgomery St., Powell St., and Civic Center stations.
The new canopies aren’t just coverings for the escalators. Each structure is equipped with LED lighting, multiple security cameras, digital screens that display real-time transit information, and motorized gates that allow the entrances to be locked at street level when stations are closed. In addition to protecting the new escalators from wear and tear, the canopies provide an extra layer of station security and cleanliness, all while brightening Market Street with placemaking artwork that subtly reveals itself as you travel between station and street.
Incorporating art was an important piece of the canopy project, as was ensuring the imagery resonated with the people who live along the corridor.
“It was crucial to not view Market Street as a monolith during this process,” said BART Art Program Manager Jennifer Easton. “The street has different communities and parts to it, and that was a key aspect to convey with this project.”

“Vessels For Collective Liberation”
Black artists across a diverse range of media—from painting and photography to video and sculpture—employ the vessel as a powerful and multifaceted metaphor for containment, transformation, and defiance. Drawing on critical frameworks from Black feminist and cultural studies, the works on display move alongside and beyond the ceramic form to conceptualize the Black body, the captured photograph, painting, performance, or the community itself as a profound container for history and memory.
Following the foundational insights of Black scholars (such as Saidiya Hartman, Tina Campt and Fred Moten to name three), the art here powerfully traces Black diasporic life, rediscovering, reclaiming, and re-narrating erased histories through a rich visual language. Through their artistic practices, they turn a site of historical trauma into a vessel of profound empowerment. The exhibition also spotlights Black (Space) Residency as both a literal and metaphorical vessel—a protected, nurturing space that holds and elevates Black artistic expression. In doing so, it functions as a vital site of collective resistance, allowing for the sacred transmission of ancestral knowledge and the forging of new narratives, echoing the powerful idea that a vessel can be a repository for the legacies of the past while also shaping the possibilities of the future.

Artist, photographer, and FX Board Member, Ron Moultrie Saunders, shares Lily Petals x 2 from his series The Secret Life of Plants, a beautiful Sepia Toned Silver Gelatin Photogram on Luminos Charcoal Paper for LFGB 2025.
Ron’s work is an invitation to viewers: “I create photograms: photographs made without the use of a camera. I hope people will be inspired to engage more intimately with nature. Have you ever wondered how plants are nourished? I invite you to hold a leaf up to the sky and look through it—to see the unique patterns visible to the naked eye.”
You’ll be able to bid and buy his work at Looking Forward Giving Back at SOMArts on May 8th!
