The Tenderloin

The Tenderloin – San Francisco
149 Mason Street
*
*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.
The colorful tiles are by Johanna Poething.  Her prolific amount of work has shown up in this website many, many times.  According to her website, Johanna Poethig is a visual, public and performance artist who has exhibited internationally and has been actively creating public artworks, murals, paintings, sculpture, and multimedia installations for over 25 years
