It's an alley between Harrison and Treat on 24th that has about 30 or 40 murals in it. First started in the 1970s by the Chicanos in the Mission. It began with the Chicano Civil Rights Movement as a way for people to reconnect with the muralist movement in Mexico and instill Mexican-American pride. It's just continued to expand over time, and now it's become a tourist destination in its own right. The entire project is a tribute to the Mexican muralist movement of Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco.

Beautiful and politically engaged street art. There is also street art in Clarion Alley between Mission St and Valencia St.

Graffiti art. There are many examples all around the city. Consider a mural tour, but this is a one stop place to see a nice collection.

Balmy Alley is home to some of the most classic mural art in San Francisco. The street is located in the Mission District in San Francisco, California. The block-long alley is one of the best places to see a concentrated collection of murals in San Francisco. The murals began in the mid-80's as an expression of artists' outrage over human rights and political abuses in Central America. Today the alley contains murals on a myriad of styles and subjects from human rights to local gentrification. The murals are sometimes replaced by newer ones. The alley is best viewed on foot- either by yourself or on a guided tour from Precita Eyes Mural Arts.
