Balmy Alley
Balmy Alley Review
Mission District artists have transformed the walls of their neighborhood with paintings, and Balmy Alley is one of the best-executed examples. Murals fill the one-block alley, with newer ones continually filling in the blank spaces. Local children working with adults started the project in 1971. Since then dozens of artists have steadily added to it, with the aim of promoting peace in Central America, as well as community spirit and AIDS awareness. Be alert here: the 25th Street end of the alley adjoins a somewhat dangerous area.
- Address: 24th St. between and parallel to Harrison and Treat Sts., alley runs south to 25th St., Mission, San Francisco, CA, 94110 | Map It
- Location: Mission District
