Garfield Pool Mural Gets an Uplift and Extension
The Garfield Center, located in the Mission at at 3100 26th St, reopened on March 15 after a multimillion dollar renovation that included two Precita Eyes murals. The “Primal Sea” mural, created in 1980 by Precita Eyes Muralists, was given new life by restoration specialist Yano Rivera. A second (new) mural, designed by Patricia Rose and Pablo, joins it. Take a virtual tour of the center here: https://fb.watch/4or2FNk_U3/

"¡Sí Se Puede!" (1995), Cesar Chavez Elementary School at 23rd St. and Folsom
A friendly greeting shouted from a porch, a phone call, picking up groceries for a neighbor — simple gestures can alleviate the dread and sadness of the pandemic that surrounds us and break through isolation. In these difficult times, every connection strengthens our resilience.
Precita Eyes Muralists has worked for more than four decades to uplift culture and community through collective art-making led by local artists. In March, Precita Eyes closed its store and art in response to the public health emergency. This closure will extend through the end of May. We've had to temporarily postpone or cancel new projects and our permanent programs. Our Urban Youth Arts workshops and children's art classes have been suspended. Our work in schools is on hold. Our celebrated walking tours are on pause. These cancellations have left our collaborating and teaching artists without a source of income. While we've been busy adapting. planning and applying for all forms of relief available to us, we also need to turn to you, our friends and community. We ask you to take a moment to revisit these iconic 24th Street murals, then support our work by aiding the hands that help the walls to speak. Be safe and take care of one another, —Susan Cervantes (founder/director) and the Precita Eyes Team Help sustain Precita Eyes Muralists through these difficult times.
