Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture is the nonprofit steward of one of San Francisco’s most beloved places — a historic waterfront campus in a national park that has been a public stage for creativity, discovery, and wonder for over 50 years. It’s also home to a vibrant community of local businesses and nonprofits, such as Greens Restaurant and the Magic Theatre.
We’re more than a venue. We build community through art, food, performances, and immersive experiences — with the San Francisco Bay as our backdrop.
Every year, more than 1.5 million people visit Fort Mason Center to eat and drink together, attend events, support local businesses, and find inspiration through shared experiences. Our campus is open to the public year-round, with over 1,000 affordable and accessible events annually.
Public access to art and culture is a powerful way to create community and belonging in a city. That’s what Fort Mason Center has always stood for and what we’re committed to providing San Franciscans for generations to come.
