This set of small mosaic murals are part of the ArtSpan’s South of Market Youth and Public Art Project.

Lead artist, Johanna Poethig who has been in this site numerous times is director for the Inner City Public Art Projects for Youth, a program of San Francisco’s South of Market Cultural Center and Artspan. They have completed a body of ceramic public art works installed throughout downtown San Francisco

These are a result of the Stop, Look, Listen to Me program which operates on $32,000 from the city’s Neighborhood Beautification Fund, and has the support of the Art Commission and private benefactors.

    What a wonderful organization and a wonderful project. The people who run these programs should be held in the highest esteem…

    Love the artwork here, too. Reminds me a bit of certain places in Europe.

    What a fabulous project. We have a non-violence tile mural on one of the walls of our middle school where each child created his/her own tile. It is so touching. I especially like this project because so many will be able to see and enjoy it. genie
