In the streets of the Tenderloin, you might notice something peculiar about its potholes, which contain anything from broken disco balls and rainbow Skittles to neon blue bubbles and bits of scrabble.
That's because local artist Rik Lee Leipold has been filling in these urban "blights" with resin, among vibrant personal objects associated with the neighborhood's beloved--and defunct--LGBTQ dive bars. Now, Leipold is collaborating with Bay Area artists Diego Gomez and Donna Personna for his new series of potholes, "Resin in Pavement," which has taken on poignant new meaning.
On September 5, join Leipold and the Tenderloin Museum for a "Resin in Pavement" Walking Tour which visits each pothole and celebrates the neighborhood's beloved, LGBTQ spaces--and the enduring legacies they leave behind. Stay tuned for more updates on upcoming artist collaborations.
**Covid-19 safety information**
All public health guidelines must be adhered to while we continue to navigate Covid-19. During the tour, everyone is required to wear a covering (either a bandana, mask, or scarf) over the nose and mouth. We will ask each of you to maintain physical distance of six feet from those you do not live with, and suggest you have hand sanitizer on-hand. Public restrooms are also likely not going to be an option. We look forward to safely seeing you for this outdoor tour!
