Precita Eyes Mural Tours

Precita Eyes tours are guided by working muralists who narrate the murals and answer questions about the process, different techniques, and the Mission neighborhood. Each tour is unique: The OG Classic Mission Mural Walk is a 1.5-hour walk with muralist Patricia Rose, who shares neighborhood history and lore along with her detailed mural narrations.

Patricia Rose

Patricia Rose received her BFA in painting from SFAI in 1983. She became involved with Precita Eyes in 1980. While completing her degrees she received training in mural painting technique and the collaborative process from Susan Cervantes. Her involvement with community-oriented arts nonprofits goes back to her work at The Farm, a multi-cultural multimedia arts center where she worked from 1978-86. She received a 1983 Artist Residency from the NEA and served as director of the Farm Art Gallery from 1984-86. In addition, Ms. Rose has served in various capacities at Precita Eyes and is currently the mural tour coordinator.

Precita Eyes

Precita Eyes Muralists Association, Inc. was established in 1977, founded by Susan Cervantes and Luis Cervantes with other artists in San Francisco's Mission District. As an inner-city non-profit community-based mural arts organization, Precita Eyes Muralists has played an integral role in the city's cultural heritage and arts education, to enrich and transform urban environments and educate communities locally and internationally about the process and the history of public community mural art, maintaining a deep commitment to collaborating with the various communities.
