The North of Market/Tenderloin Community Benefit District invited Mona Caron to create a mural at the North-East corner of Jones and Golden Gate. The mural design was developed after being inspired and informed by dozens of interviews, tours, and meetings with local residents, communities and organizations. The mural includes references to local history, and depictions of the neighborhood with details inspired by ongoing direct contact with the neighboring population. It also includes a section featuring tiles with artwork created by artists working at Hospitality House Community Art Center, by children at the Boys and Girls Club, and members of other communities in the immediate vicinity of the mural.
If you haven’t seen the mural yet, please stop by and join the dedication celebration this Friday!
Where: Golden Gate and Jones [map]
When: 3:45-4:30 Short program including presentation on the historical context of the buildings represented in the mural, brief presentations by Mona Caron, and representatives from the Mayor’s Office and the Community Challenge Grant.
4:30 – 6:00 Indoor reception at the North of Market/Tenderloin Community Benefit District community space and gallery, 134 Golden Gate [map]
