Community Memory:
Our current work-in-progress is an interpretive, lyrical document of our neighborhood. Centered by the intersection of Mission and Seventh, it consists of new creative photography by our artists: adults living in poverty and veterans. The project reflects a vision of a vital urban area that is undergoing transformation while, at the same time, retaining much of its history and character. This is an exciting and richly textured area in which to photograph.
Community Memory Mural:
6th On 7th Gallery starts with its compelling Seventh Street photomural. We add to and change photographs on the outside wall of Hotel Isabel on an ongoing basis.
