Balmy Alley Murals
I approach Balmy Alley as a surface study, not a political tour. Paint over paint, restoration over original, new imagery over old — the physical layering is a record of the
The Mission's densest mural concentration. The alley is a single block between 24th and 25th Streets, Treat and Harrison. The murals are maintained continuously and some are fifty years old.
