Painting a Pop Up Mural with Precita Eyes at 24th & Harrison
Painting a Pop-Up in An Enchanted Forest By the Light of the Moon
Precita Eyes Muralists partnered with SF Parks Alliance on Golden Gate Park's JFK Promenade, and turned it into a canvas. 
On a cold Saturday evening last February 11, the Entwined forest in Peacock Meadow gathered people of all ages, most of whom just happened to be passing by, to paint a pop-up.
"A pop-up mural is a mini happening," commented San Francisco Parks Alliance's Anna Lisa Escobedo, a long-time Precita Eyes collaborator. "It's a performance you maybe just stumbled upon." more here 
AFTER 111 YEARS, THE SF CITY CLINIC GETS A MURAL
"A Sanctuary for Health" was unveiled on Nov. 15 by SF Department Health officials, clinic workers and clients. The clinic at 356 7th Street serves the sexual health of San Franciscans. Its new mural, A Sanctuary for Health, is inspired by the clinic's dedication to compassion and inclusive services. In the Nov. 15 dedication ceremony, SF city health director Dr. Grant Colfax cut the inaugural ribbon with these words: “Artistic expression is an integral part of how we heal, and this is supported by science. Art can help us emotionally navigate the journey of battling an illness. It can help us process difficult emotions in times of crisis. And it brings a sense of calm when we need it most." More here.
