Several groups are pleased to announce the unveiling of a new city art mural of the late Bill Graham on Monday, November 6 at Noon at the Goodwill Building, 1669 Fillmore St (at Post). Speakers scheduled will include Bill's sons David and Alex Graham; city officials including SF Supervisor Dean Preston; representatives from Goodwill; Lisa Brewer from MissionArt415; aerosol artist Wes Marks; representatives from the Bill Graham Memorial Foundation and BGP family and friends.
This is a rain or shine event.
The mural is a perfect fit for the neighborhood, as it stands a very short walk from both The Fillmore and the site of Winterland, both venues where Bill held hundreds and hundreds of shows and benefits. The mural is created by aerosol artist Wes Marks, a practitioner of spray paint art for more than 30 years. Wes became intrigued by the poster artists and the culture of the late '60s when painting a Summer of Love series in the Haight in 2006 and being able to design and paint a mural featuring Bill Graham is a natural progression. The depiction of Bill is inspired by a 1985 photograph taken at The Fillmore by Ken Friedman, who was the photographer at Bill Graham Presents for many years.
