Clarion Alley’s Thought-Provoking Street Art

Gosh, I started this post a month ago. Time to finish it…

When we were preparing to visit San Fran, I googled street art because, well, I love it. “Clarion Alley Mural Project” came up. It was my top must-see for the visit, and it did not disappoint.

If you visit their page, you’ll see the names of the amazing artists who painted the murals; you can read about the issues portrayed in the art; and you can DONATE to the Clarion Alley Mural Project.

I hope their art inspires you to look into the issues the art is highlighting. Here are just a few of the amazing murals we saw…
