982 Market Street
The side of the Warfield Theater
Mid-Market
This piece, finished in May of this year (2014), was done by Clare Rojas (who has been in this website before), along with the 509 Cultural Center.
The mural was sponsored, to the tune of $40,000, by the Walter and Elise Hass Fund.
Thanks to the Creative Work Fund, I was able to find this photo of the work in progress, as well as an explanation of the piece.
“The proposed mural will be a natural outgrowth of Rojas’s earlier work, which was overtly feminist and employed surreal or unreal figures in a narrative intent. She plans to re-integrate symbolic figures within a large-scale abstract composition for the mural.”
Due to the height of the building, the mural is easy to spot from many parts of town. Due to the historic nature of the Warfield, the mural will only be up for one year.
