Established in 2003, the FOR-SITE Foundation is dedicated to the creation, understanding, and presentation of art about place.  Exhibitions and commissions, artist residencies, and education programs are based in the belief that art can inspire fresh thinking and important dialogue about our natural and cultural environment. Below is one project example:

Andy Goldsworthy is one of the world’s most talented site-specific artists. The Presidio Trust is honored to host the largest collection of the artist’s works on public view in North America. The installations include Spire, Wood Line, Tree Fall, and now his latest, located within the Presidio Officers’ Club – Earth Wall. Earth Wall pays homage to the rich archaeological setting of the Presidio Officers’ Club. It was built with materials taken from the site—earth from the Officers’ Club rehabilitation and eucalyptus branches from the Presidio forest. It is located behind the Hardie Courtyard.
