The Redwood City Art Kiosk is an art installation space in Redwood City, California.
The Art Kiosk is located on the Northwest corner of Redwood City's Courthouse Square. It is a historic 13 x 13 foot structure with glass windows on all four sides. The art installations are viewable from outside of the structure, at all times.
History The Art Kiosk was established by The Redwood City Improvement Association and with the initiative of gallerist/curator Lance Fung in 2019. The venue hosts seven to eight, six-week long exhibitions each year. It is managed by Fung Collaboratives.
As the venue curator, Lance Fung uses this platform to provide opportunities to emerging artists as well as internationally established artists. Fung says about the Art Kiosk project, “I really don’t know of any exhibition platforms quite like this. The primary way of viewing and experiencing the Art Kiosk is looking into this urban fishbowl,” and “It’s not about making product; it’s about dialog. Ultimately, an artwork is not an object, it’s an experience you provide like a good meal, like a concert.”
