Jacob Hashimoto: Giant Arc — 75,000 Floating Kites at SFMOMA
San Francisco is getting a jaw-dropping new public art moment: 75,000 hand-built kites suspended overhead in a massive canopy installation called Giant Arc by artist Jacob Hashimoto. Yes, you read that right—seventy five thousand. This is the kind of thing that makes you stop mid-stride and just look up. The scale is immersive, the craftsmanship is incredible, and best of all, it’s completely free to walk through and experience. Debut date is August 22, 2026 starting at 10 a.m. Bring friends, bring your phone, bring your sense of wonder.
