Pier 14 (Mission and Embarcadero)

On Friday, June 16th at 11 AM, ‘Passage’ will be dedicated in conjunction with the opening of Pier 14, San Francisco’s newest public access pier. A former breakwater, Pier 14 has been re-envisioned as a600-foot stroll out into the bay for a breathtaking new perspective on the city, coastline, and bridge — a novel new setting from which to
appreciate Passage, the new Pier’s first temporary art installation. Join us as we dedicate this fantastic new public space, and be among the first to get a look at ‘Passage’ in this location!

This festive public opening is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Friday June 16th. Join the fun as we celebrate Dan and Karen and all the other amazing people who have poured their effort and energy into making ‘Passage’s’ San Francisco visit possible. Post-opening, all are invited to Sinbad’s Restaurant (nearly adjacent to the install site) for a No-Host Bar Reception & Celebration from 6:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Pirate attire optional.
