With support from the California Arts Council, Clarion Alley Mural Project will support: 1) a series of five new murals on Clarion Alley in celebration of our California farmworkers; 2) a community celebration for the new murals with music, poetry, and food; and 3) a series of poetry readings by local California poets.
Since 1992, CAMP has produced over 900 murals and worked with many talented artists, many of whom are just starting their careers and looking for opportunities to publicly display their work – some would identify themselves as primarily muralists or public artists, for others it’s a chance to create public work for the first time. In addition to works directly on Clarion Alley, CAMP has produced a number of offsite projects in collaboration with community partners, including two international exchange and residency projects with Yogyakarta, Indonesia in 2003 and 2018-2022. CAMP has worked with many collaborative initiatives, including La Casa de las Madres, Poor Magazine, Creativity Explored, the San Francisco Print Collective, Oasis For Girls, Horizons Unlimited, the American Indian Movement Youth Council, the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project, the South of Market Community Action Network (SOMCAN), Hospitality House, WRAP (Western Regional Advocacy Project), San Francisco Poster Syndicate, Arab Resource and Organizing Center (AROC), and Art Forces. In addition to its direct work with artists and organizations through the production of murals, CAMP has been very active in the community through participation in public presentations about public art and its role in social activism.
Specifically, Clarion Alley Mural Project provides the following programs and services:
• Creation, support, & maintenance of murals
