The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously voted to rename Shannon Street in commemoration of the art, created by veterans and their relatives, lining the alley’s walls
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to rename the small street, located in the heart of the Tenderloin, in commemoration of the murals created by veterans and their relatives lining its walls.
Lovato convinced him to do something with the space, and Gregory envisioned it covered with murals a la the Mission’s Clarion and Balmy alleys. More than 20 artists’ pieces adorn the alley, relying on paint and other resources that Gregory and others in the community have supplied. The alley also receives some funding from the San Francisco Arts Commission and The City’s Dream Keeper Initiative.
