Clarion Alley
Clarion Alley (between 17th and 18th, and Mission and Valencia)
Once an ugly slum, Clarion Alley now reflects the diversity and personality of the Mission itself, not just with Latin-American heritage art (though there are both Rivera-inspired walls and portraits of Kahlo), but also pro-labor paintings, graffiti-style logos, intellectual abstracts, flower power psychedelia, and leftist punk stencils. The Clarion Alley Mural Project replaces the paintings over time, making the alley itself a constantly evolving work of urban transformation.
