North Beach/Chinatown Street Art and Culture Tour
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at North Beach
(see times)
Many people visiting or living in San Francisco have seen the street art in Mission and the murals in North Beach/Chinatown. While both districts are filled with artwork that define San Francisco's street art movement, there are a couple distinctions that make each area unique.
The Mission District is full of more unofficial and underground work that focus on political allusions and references in order to inform the public of current social problems. On the other hand, North Beach and Chinatown are filled with high end commissioned mural work that are of the traditional and aerosol art styles. These works are more nostalgic and swanky (like nightlife art).
We will meet at the Saints Peter and Paul Church next to Washington Square Park in North Beach and explore all of the hidden gems within North Beach as well as Chinatown. From North Beach, we will walk up through, digging through and rediscovering some street art that define San Francisco's street art movement. We will also venture through Chinatown while being enticed by the smells of the area's renowned eateries. Throughout the tour, I will explain the history behind, personalities of, and fun facts about notable street artists, whose works we will encounter.
And since I am a local North Beach artist, I know many merchants in case you need a break for coffee, pastries, gelato, pizza, etc.!
