"Calendars are so back, if you ask Mayor Daniel Lurie. On Friday, his office announced the launch of a new, city-run site from the Office of Economic and Workforce Development called SF Live, which features event listings for music, theater, comedy, family-friendly activities and more. In a press release, the mayor's office touted Lurie's commitment to the arts, and emphasized culture's importance to San Francisco's economy. Event-goers typically spend $46.54 beyond the cost of a ticket at small businesses, according to city data."
"San Francisco's arts sector is a major employer, with 3,380 organizations providing more than 60,000 jobs. For an venue's events to be included in the calendar, it "must have live performance every time the venue is open to the general public, or performance four or more days per week," according to SF Live's FAQ. Events must be located in San Francisco, and "event marketing must focus on artistic talent." SF Live is currently soliciting advertising and partnerships, along with nominations for future guest curators."

The city cited arts-sector economic impact, noting event-goers typically spend $46.54 beyond ticket costs and that 3,380 arts organizations provide over 60,000 jobs. SF Live seeks advertising, partnerships and guest curator nominations and complements existing local listings like DoTheBay and media-curated guides.
