Updates for our Anti Graffiti Warriors…

The battle against Graffiti Vandalism is always on going. But we are making progress. Statistics show that the reports are going down in San Francisco. We thank all of our volunteers for joining the team to keep San Francisco Clean! But what is the difference between Graffiti Vandalism and Graffiti Art? One word… Permission!

Here are some programs that teach the difference between the two.

• Where Art Lives
• “So you want to create a mural in San Francisco?” StreetSmARTs

Are you interested in taking an active role? Please join us at the Graffiti Advisory Board Meetings! Contact leonard.alfaro@sfdpw.org for more information on the meetings.
