Design and painting by Mona Caron.
Artist's assistant: Lisa Ruth Elliott.

Fiscal sponsor: Clean City Coalition
Location: 3871 24th Street, between Vicksburg and Sanchez (Noe Valley neighborhood), San Francisco, USA.
( Google MAP )
Mural sizes: 14' x 65' (4,26 x 20 meters) on the East side, and approx. 12' x 65' on the West side.
The mural theme:
The mural comprises two paintings that face each other over a small park and parking lot in the Noe Valley neighborhood.
As a tie-in to the weekly farmer's market that is held there, both murals feature giant botanical illustrations of vegetables and their leaves and blossoms. A scroll-like ribbon weaves around the vegetables. Wherever the ribbon is larger and appears closer, there are views of the neighborhood depicted within it. On the Eastern wall, these views show scenes from Noe Valley's past (late 1930's) and a positive future vision. On the western wall, there are two views of the present: one of the upper, Western part of 24th Street (Noe Valley), and one of the adjacent Mission District part of the same street.
