Queer LifeSpace

Are you the owner of a street-facing wall space that could use a splash of art and inspiration? Queer LifeSpace is excited to announce an incredible opportunity to beautify your wall while supporting emerging queer artists in San Francisco's vibrant Castro District! Participants from our EQUARTY program for emerging queer artists will collaborate with a highly experienced professional muralist to design and create a stunning mural. This project will serve as a critical training platform for young artists mastering their craft. If you have a street-facing wall or know a space that could become the canvas for this project, please don’t hesitate to let us know at [email protected]. We aim to start the project in early June, so your prompt response will be greatly appreciated! Feel free to share this post with friends, colleagues, or any contacts who own businesses or live in the Castro District, if you think they might be interested. #opencall #helpneeded #mural #artproject #pleaseshare #sanfrancisco #castrodistrict
