Burnside Mural+: The + is for tiled steps

Get out your calendars:

Editor’s Note: This event was rescheduled from October due to illness. The new date is Nov. 8 at the Glen Park Library, 6 – 7:30 PM.

Burnside Mural+ invites you to a presentation by the brilliant tile artists, Aileen Barr and Colette Crutcher, designers of the Burnside Mural+ tiled steps, hosted at the Glen Park library on October 11^th from 6:00pm-7:30pm. They will take all behind the scenes to explain how tiled stairways are made.

Dazzling examples of their work are Hidden Gardens, (16^th and Kirkham), 16^th and Moraga Steps, and Lincoln Steps (30^th and California). Aileen and Colette handcraft each tile. For the Burnside stairway we estimate they will make over 1000 tiles including the 200 “legacy” tiles with heartwarming inscriptions from the project’s many supporters. The stairway will be a gorgeous complement to our beautiful mural.

Let’s give Aileen and Colette a warm welcome! While you feast your eyes, the library will generously be providing snacks.

We are grateful for Supervisor Mandelman’s support and also our fiscal sponsor the San Francisco Parks Alliance.
