“PRESENTÉ FOR EVER!”
Help us Fund the 30th Anniversary of the Urban Youth Arts Festival 2026

For 30 years, Precita Eyes Muralists have been giving children and adults alike the opportunity to explore their spray art ambitions in the safety of Precita Park. Each 3rd Saturday of July, we set up temporary walls, supply all of the spray paint and materials, and give our community an space to perform on stage. We have loved keeping this tradition alive (since the 90s) and look forward to the Urban Youth Arts Festival every year.
During the past few years, we have been relying on a grant in order to fund this festival. It covered the park fees, the cost of renting the stage and sound system, and allowed us to not only pay our live youth performers, but give out spray cans and PPE for absolutely free to participants.
Sadly, we no longer qualify for that grant due to this festival being youth-driven, and with the current environment, funding for free art events is few and far in between.
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.
​Thank you for your continued support,
Precita Eyes Muralists

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!
