“PRESENTÉ FOR EVER!”

30th Urban Youth Arts Festival is Still Fundraising
We are only three months away from Precita Eyes big celebration for the year. Every third Saturday of July, we take over Precita Park and collaboratively create murals on temporary walls. Youth (ages 13-25) are give supplies and space to express themselves artistically: on the stage, in front of giant canvases, and so much more!
CELEBRATE 30 YEARS
Help us continue to host this all day free event by donating today, and spreading the word about this amazing event.

Returning to celebrate with us again will be an Aztec Dancer Group, our dedicated Youth Performers, and of course – the Friends and Families, new and old, of our Beloved Precita Eyes Community.

This year for our 30th Anniversary, we are inviting 2 New Youth Groups and 3 Local OG Old School Crews to collaborate and perform Monumental Mural Pieces live on the day of the Festival. There will also be a Mural Competition for the first time ever on the day of the festival, information included below. We are excited for what is in store for this festival, but we need your help.

Precita Park Restroom Tile Mural Project Update
​Have you been seeing the construction at Precita Park near Harrison St and wondered... "Well what is happening over there?" Look no further! In 2024, San Francisco Recreations and Park got funding to open up a single stall, gender neutral restroom in Precita Park. The Precita Valley Neighbors commissioned Precita Eyes to help create a public tile mural for the exterior of the restroom.
    Since the beginning of 2026, Precita Eyes has been running workshops with the residents in Precita Valley to design and glaze the tiles that will be used in the tile mural. Currently there has been 5 completed workshops!
