​Flynn School Murals
Shine Brightly at Precita Park

Created in the mid-1970s as a community mural project  — one of the city's first — the newly restored Family Life and Spirit of Mankind diptych at Leonard Flynn Elementary School (at Harrison St. with Precita Ave.) once again salutes its neighbors with vivid colors.
Picture
Back in 1976, there were just half-a-dozen murals in the neighborhood. Precita Eyes co-founder Susan Cervantes had just completed the Precita Valley Community Center mural. On the other side of Precita Park, the Flynn school principal was so impressed by how the mural beautified the park and represented the neighbors that he wanted students to paint one.

Historic Castro AIDS Mural Defaced.
You Can Help Restore It
 

 
Painted in 1998, the mural Hope for the World Cure, at Market and 15th Street in the Castro district, is one of the most potent public art works about the chaos and solidarity of AIDS in San Francisco and worldwde.
But a few weeks ago, in late December 2021, approximately one-third of the two-story mural was defaced with graffiti. Restoration will cost an estimated $50,000, according to Precita Eyes' Susan Cervantes, who directed the work's collective creation 25 years ago.

The mural, seen above as it looked when completed over two decades ago, was located behind what was once the popular hangout, the Bagdad Cafe (note name in upper left corner).
