This block of Mason Street is looking so much brighter now that Glide has moved into the block. This is on the outside of GLIDE Economic Development Corporation’s 149 Mason Street Studios, an eight-story building which features 56 furnished studio apartments designed for people who have been chronically homeless.

I like the use of hands for the expressions. and “be real”. thanks for sharing, and I hope you’re having a relaxing weekend!
Very gorgeous way to spruce up any big boring building!
Wonderful idea for housing and the art is perfect for it!
That is great!
Love, dignity, and justice. Words to live by.
I’ve heard so much about Glide! Now I like them even more 🙂
Beautiful mural! Sounds like a wonderful project too!
I put this up with my dad.
