Event description

Explore the neighborhood's rich tradition of public art on the Murals of the Tenderloin Walking Tour, and get to know some of the artists and community groups behind the TL's diverse and dynamic visual culture.

To mark the December 2024 “I Love Tenderloin Day,” Tenderloin Museum offers a walking tour of the neighborhood that highlights some of the neighborhood’s iconic murals as well as less obvious public artworks hidden in plain sight. Led by TLM Program Director Alex Spoto, this celebratory survey explores how the neighborhood’s built environment serves as a canvas for resident artists and neighborhood advocates to tell the story of the Tenderloin, its community, and its culture. For this tour, two artists based in the TL join the group to share about their works on the street: Tan Sirinumas and Rik Lee Leipold both depict the Tenderloin’s history in their innovative public art practices. They are also the featured artists inside the Tenderloin Museum–their show of new, collaborative artworks–Tenderloin Texture: Carved Histories in Urban Form–is on view in the TLM Gallery from 12/5/24 to 2/1/25!

The mural featured in the event image is “Tenderloin Together” by Sylvester “Slick” Guard Jr. organized by Paint the Void.
