Statement from SF Arts Commission:

On Monday, December 5, the Arts Commission voted unanimously to appoint Tom DeCaigny as the agency’s new Director of Cultural Affairs. To learn more about Tom and his accomplishments, check out this article on SFGATE.

After five months, Interim Director JD Beltran will step down to return to her life as a full-time artist and professor at the San Francisco Art Institute. During her tenure, JD poured her heart as well as countless hours into restoring this agency to good health. While we will miss her dearly, her presence will be felt as we usher in a new positive chapter in the Arts Commission’s history. Thank you, JD! Welcome, Tom!
