Balmy Alley Murals

There is almost nary a vertical surface in this alley that does not have a speck of paint on it.

Mural after mural lines the walls, garages, fences and even the potted plants of this infamous alley, where, since the 1970s, muralists from near and afar have been celebrating the family life and cultural traditions of the neighborhood’s residents.

And, like Diego Rivera before them, have been fearlessly shedding a light on moral, economic and political injustices both within the City by the Bay and without.

Classic Mission Mural Walk

Join the Precita Eyes Muralists Association on a 2-hour guided tour of the alley and the surrounding area, wherein you will see 90+ murals spanning 4 decades, by artists including Laura Campos, Siron Norris and Lucia Ippolito.
