About the West Wall
In 2007, the Walter & Elise Haas Fund inaugurated The West Wall Project to recognize and support some of the talented artists who have received Creative Work Fund grants. Every 18-24 months, an artist is commissioned to create an original work for display on the northwest-facing wall of the Fund’s offices at One Lombard Street in San Francisco. At the end of the display period, the Fund returns the work to the artist who contributes it in an appropriate form to a nonprofit organization of his or her choosing. The Fund’s business is philanthropy, and this commissioning project emphasizes the idea of giving.
