Death…Resurrection. Join us and Bronze the Bunny!
THE BUNNY: Recognized in 2012 as the 3rd best public sculpture in San Francisco by SF Weekly, Jeremy Fish’s Silly Pink Bunny is an important piece of artwork that marks the gateway to the Lower Haight neighborhood. Perhaps most importantly, the Silly Pink Bunny and murals that grace the walls at Haight and Laguna symbolize years of neighbor and community efforts to activate the Haight Street corridor through culturally relevant and iconic street art.
THE THREAT: Today, development plans for the site include removing the Silly Pink Bunny and walls along Laguna and Haight to make way for new rental housing.
THE SOLUTION: Fortunately, the developer of the site has agreed to work with the community and artist to find a permanent home for a new, bronzed Silly Pink Bunny and the murals. And the Haight Street Art Center has already secured half of the funding that will be needed to make this effort a reality.
THE PROJECT: But we need your help to raise the other half! Join us and Bronze the Bunny! Once we reach our funding goal, the artist will Bronze the Bunny and we’ll send out the goodies to those who supported the effort! The new, bronzed Silly Pink Bunny will get placed in its final location near the corner of Laguna and Haight in about 12-18 months, depending on the pace of construction at the site and subject to final location approval from the San Francisco Planning Department. In the meantime, the bunny will get bronzed and will get placed in a temporary home until the Haight & Laguna location is ready.Recognized in 2012 as the 3rd best public sculpture in San Francisco by SF Weekly, Jeremy Fish’s Silly Pink Bunny is an important piece of artwork that marks the gateway to the Lower Haight neighborhood.
