The San Francisco Arts Commission convened on October 6, 2025, welcoming two new commissioners, McKenna Quint and Al Perez, during their first full meeting. President Collins expressed gratitude for their commitment to the city and emphasized the importance of their roles in upholding civic responsibilities.

The meeting began with a roll call, confirming a quorum with several commissioners present. Notably absent was Commissioner Moseley. The agenda included a significant change, limiting public comments to two minutes and postponing discussions on the Villain Court Fountain to a later date.

President Collins reminded attendees of the meeting's structure and public comment procedures, ensuring that all voices could be heard while maintaining order. Public comments will be documented, and attendees were encouraged to submit written summaries of their remarks for inclusion in the meeting minutes.

The commission also highlighted its commitment to accessibility, providing remote access for those needing accommodations. As the meeting progressed, Commissioner Quint was invited to read the land acknowledgment statement, reinforcing the commission's dedication to recognizing the history and contributions of Indigenous peoples in the area.

This meeting marks a pivotal moment for the Arts Commission as it continues to engage with the community and address important cultural initiatives. The decisions made today will shape future discussions and actions, reflecting the commission's ongoing commitment to the arts and public engagement in San Francisco.
