Wherever you stand in the Tenderloin, there’s likely a mural in-sight! Explore the neighborhood's rich tradition of public art on the Murals of the Tenderloin Walking Tour, and get to know some of the artists and community groups behind the TL's diverse and dynamic visual culture. The tour will visit recent additions to the neighborhood pantheon, including several large scale works organized by Luggage Store Gallery, as well as some of the Tenderloin's most iconic urban imagery arranged by the TLCBD, CounterPulse, DISH, and various independent street artists.

About this event

On September 9th, Tenderloin Museum invites you to light up the night in your most fabulous attire for an outdoor gala at the legendary Phoenix Hotel. We are excited to safely celebrate TLM's most devoted supporters and friends in person with an enchanting evening of live music, art, refreshments, and--of course--Tenderloin history. To provide support to the Tenderloin Museum, please consider purchasing a ticket to our upcoming 6th Anniversary Gala.

Awash in a warm neon glow, the Phoenix courtyard is a quintessentially Tenderloin urban shangri-la: an iconic and historic neighborhood landmark that, once inside, transports visitors into a timeless atmosphere of our storied nightlife district's best-of-times. The rock and roll spirit still abides at the Phoenix; that energizing spirit is what we need heading into the 2022 season, as the Tenderloin Museum continues its work engaging Tenderloin residents, as well as visitors from around the Bay Area and beyond, with dynamic and substantial place based history so we can more deeply understand and appreciate our community.

Your safety is our top priority. Proof of vaccine or a negative COVID-19 test within the past 72 hours will be required to attend and will be checked upon arrival. This event will also be held entirely outdoors.

In honor of the anniversary month of the Compton’s Cafeteria Riot, Susan Stryker previews her forthcoming essay At the Crossroads of Turk and Taylor: Re-Membering Legacies of Opposition to Carceral Power in San Francisco, in which she frames the Compton’s Riot through a comprehensive, hyper-local, place-based history of the 101-121 Taylor Street Properties that reveals the systemic nature of carceral power, the insidious flexibility of carceral logic, and the vital witnessing of resistance to the carceral state in imagining a more just and empowering society.

Street artist and long time artist in residence at the Tenderloin Museum Deirdre Weinberg returns to the TLM gallery for Hear Me Out, a Residency Showcase, on view July 8 - August 28, that surveys her prolific portraiture in the TL and spotlights the social encounters and subsequent dialogues borne from the artist’s intimate, in-situ portrait practice.

Join us on July 8th for an opening reception for Weinberg’s Residency Showcase featuring a short artist talk and music with a live DJ.
