Founded in 1977, this is the organisation behind a large share of the Mission’s murals, including Balmy Alley and the Women’s Building. The centre itself is a small visitor centre, art store and workshop rather than a white-cube gallery: the actual collection is the neighborhood outside.
The most active option on this list for children. Saturday mural walking tours leave at 1.30pm and run about ninety minutes, and there are workshops and school programs. Tours are paid; the center and store are free. Monday to Friday 10am–5pm, Saturday noon–5pm.
