The Cultural Collaboration Mural at Boys & Girls, Ernest Ingold Clubhouse on 1950 Page Street began in 2007. Funded with a grant from the San Francisco Arts Commission.  Six mosaic murals will be installed on the walls outside the clubhouse this summer 2008. 

Summer Work days are designed to encourage community participation, (volunteers are welcomed and need) and will be at weekends, evenings and during the day from MAY 15TH through the end of July.

The mosaics are inspired by conversations between youth in Uganda, Africa and youth at the Boys and Girls Club. Words were chosen from these conversations and used as a start point for the designs. Youth and Staff at the Boys and Girls Club have been making ceramic tiles for the mural with  Artist, Sharon Virtue. The project was funded by the San Francisco Arts Commission. 

The murals will be installed on the large walls outside the Clubhouse.
