Review:
Clarion Alley is a unique open-air showcase of graffiti and street art, stretching between the city's 17th, 18th, Mission, and Valencia Streets. The project began in 1992 at the impetus of the Clarion Alley Mural Project artist collective, which is led by six volunteer residents within the city's North Mission District. It is housed within the former Cedar Lane alleyway, in a district with noted arts and community activism, home to organizations such as Promotoras Latinas Comunitarias de Salud and the American Indian Center. The beautifully curated alleyway is ever changing with new and eclectic art pieces, though some famed works remain, including Tax the Rich by Megan Wilson. Others are constantly being added to the alley, making for a new art experience every time one visits the district.
