SF Mural Arts - A Site for Mural Lovers

If you’re serious about street art in San Francisco, you have to check out “SFMural Arts”, one of the best sites I’ve found for murals in The City.

Once there you can search by artist name or look at murals in specific neighborhoods, and you can generate a “walking” list that will help you find your chosen murals in the real world.

Type in the name of your favorite SF muralist on the conveniently placed search box and you’ll get a page (or pages) with thumbnails of the artist’s murals. Click on the thumbnail to look at larger photos of the mural.

Of course, there’s no way that even SF Mural Arts can keep up with the hectic pace of street art production and destruction taking place in The City. Yet the site is updated frequently, so you may discover that a certain mural you’d love to see is “no longer available.”  But you may also discover that your favorite muralist has other pieces you’ve never seen, and these may even be located near you.

  There’s no graffiti anywhere (proving that nobody’s perfect) and I’m not sure the word is even mentioned… but as a mural lover, this resource for local murals and muralists is incredibly useful and user-friendly.

If, for some reason, your favorite mural doesn’t appear on the site, you can take a picture of it and submit it. Or if you can’t, feel free to send me an email and let me know… I’m always looking for street art I may have missed, and I will submit it to the site afterwards.

There are other sites that cover street art in San Francisco with equal love and passion, such as streetartsf, which includes pictorials and interviews with artists such as Amanda Lynn, and a section called On The Street.

Thanks to sites such as these, and graffitisf.com, you can now get your fix of SF street art even if it’s raining out and you don’t want to get wet. Of course, nothing beats a close encounter of the third kind.
