• The murals at Garfield Pool at 25th St and Harrison are being restored, and a new mural is being designed by Precita Eyes team.  

• Elementary school students and their Precita Eyes mentors worked at a distance on new murals at Majorie Tobias in Daly City and Longfellow Elementary in San Francisco, and Asian Youth Center in Oakland (see below).

• For a glimpse into the artist/ethical challenges faced by restoration specialist Yano Rivera, visit MuralDoc. 

• Precita Eyes was one of 65 arts organizations awarded an emergency grant from the SF Arts and Artists Relief Fund. 

• On Facebook, the Precita Eyes community exchanges resources for emergency food, financial assistance, legal aid and relief funds.

Garfield Pool Murals Get an Uplift and and Extension.
As part of the long-awaited remodel of the Garfield pool clubhouse, the Primal Sea diptych at Harrison and 25th St. is being restored and extended. The mural dates from 1980 and was among the first Precita Eyes' projects to receive SF Recreation and Parks and National Endowment for the Arts funding.  See original project.
​
​Precita Eyes founder Susan Cervantes led the community team that created the original murals 40 years ago and is again leading the team working on the new mural. Yano Rivera leads the restoration team.

Running Title: Home Grown–A Story of Ecological and Social Justice ©2020 Precita Eyes

Directed by: ​Fred Alvarado and Pablo Ruioz Arroyo
​Location: East Bay Asian Youth Center, 
2025 E 12th St, Oakland 
Description:
“Home Grown: A Story of Ecological and Social Justice” is the title of the youth driven mural for the East Bay Asian Youth Center. The mural designed by students of the after school program focuses on a healthy and thriving Oakland; free of pollution and discrimination. Pictured on the mural is a diverse group of youth coexisting in nature. The youth depicted are based on the actual students involved in the program.  Featured are Oakland landmarks like Lake Merrit, Quercus agrifolia (Coast Live Oak), trees, plants, flowers, and a sunset sky filled with a music sheet of notes symbolizing harmony. The shining sun is a nod to the EBAYC sun icon. A hand coming down from the sky is bringing a pot with a watermelon house growing as a new future

Description
Cafeteria murals for the community at Bessie Carmichael Elementary school in San Francisco CA. These cut out murals, designed with 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, are almost finished. Through out the school year we have been working with students inquiring about food histories and justice. We worked with 9 classes in creating 9 mini murals. We will cut out the negative space creating 9 dynamic shapes that will be installed together to create a 50' x 20' foot mural. This project is in partnership with the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. ​​
