San Francisco Snapshot

Through the years, San Francisco has been a golden gateway for artists, thinkers and writers to express what is on their minds. Next to Los Angeles and Chicago, it is one of the top US cities for murals, with over 1,000 works that have turned alleys and building façades into open-air galleries. This #artbits Snapshot flaunts some of the work there.
