The San Francisco War Memorial & Performing Arts Center manages and maintains a world‐class creative complex which sustains diverse artistic, educational, and multi-cultural offerings for enjoyment by regional, national, and international audiences; supports a broad workforce across the performing arts sector; and powerfully contributes to San Francisco’s economy and identity, in service of the purposes and beneficiaries of the War Memorial Trust.
The San Francisco War Memorial & Performing Arts Center is a nationally-renowned performing arts cultural complex that draws people from across the region and the world to share in uplifting and unifying artistic experiences.
We honor and build upon our storied past- as a monument to our nation’s veterans, the birthplace of the United Nations, and the home of the San Francisco Symphony, the San Francisco Opera, and the San Francisco Ballet – while advancing into a future that celebrates an array of performing arts reflective of our society’s diversity. Performers of all backgrounds are featured in our theaters, and people from all walks of life – including artists, staff, and visitors – are broadly represented and welcomed in our spaces. Our campus anchors the vibrant Civic Center Performing Arts District, which draws millions of people annually to experience art, music, education, shopping, and food, seven days a week, day and night.
The War Memorial & Performing Arts Center is the heart of San Francisco, which is one of the most innovative, energetic, and inclusive arts and entertainment cities in the world.
