Life-Size Tiger Art Installation Celebrates Lunar New Year
Happy Lunar New Year! Today, approximately 1.5 billion people will celebrate the start of the Year of the Tiger. One of twelve animals: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig, characterize each lunar year. To commemorate the Year of the Tiger, the San Francisco Chinese Chamber of Commerce has organized a public art installation, bringing six life-size tiger statues to different locations in the city. Called “Tiger on Parade,” the art installation will last until February 19.

Local artists design each tiger with a theme in mind. The six tigers are named: voyager, horizon, posterity, good fortune, harvester, wealth & health. The companies sponsoring the design of each tiger include Alaska Airlines, AARP, Whole Foods, The Golden State, Warriors, Lucky California, and ICBC.
You can visit the tigers in person at the following locations:
Voyager Tiger: Union Square

Wealth and Health Tiger: Portsmouth Square
Good Fortune Tiger: Thrive Plaza at the Chase Center
Harvester Tiger: Lucky Supermarket on Sloat
Horizon Tiger: Whole Foods at Stonestown

On February 21, 2022, the tigers will sell via an auction. Net proceeds will benefit the Chinese Community Health Resource Center, the Southeast Asian Development Center, the Chinese Culture Center, Community Youth Center, and Self-Help for the Elderly. The auction will close on February 27 at 9 PM.
Our team at Voyage Real Estate wishes you a happy, healthy, and wealthy New Year!
