Explore and discover San Francisco's ever-changing street art through this guided walking tour. We'll look at everything from small drawings and objects to large murals and installations. Each route is chosen to expose locals and visitors alike to San Francisco's unique and exciting public art.
Walks focus on observation and provide instruction on improving compositon skills, lighting, perspective, symmetry, lines, contrast, and balance. Casual technical instruction is given, but the tour is not an intense photo workshop. All ages and skill levels are encouraged to join!
