Mini Series, The Mission Murals, Day 2 of 2
Today we'll look at the murals of Clarion Alley, between Mission and Valencia at 18th Street. In 1992 an artist collective called CAMP converted this alley into public artwork space. Clarion Alley's murals are more in the mode of graffiti art and feature many pop, urban, and comic-strip references. When several structures were demolished here in 2001, CAMP was very active in saving the alley and creating art on the new structures.

For those interested, there are many other locations to find murals throughout San Francisco. Here are just a few: the Mission District Carnaval Mural at Harrison at 19th Street, the 24th Street Mini-Park between between York and Bryant, the 24th Street BART Station at Mission, and the San Francisco Women's Building at 18th Street at Lapidge Street. May is Mural Awareness month in San Francisco and many tours and exhibits are available during the month.
