Murals have an important place in Rainbow's infrastructure. Not
only do the beautify the space, but they allow local (and sometimes
far away) artists to show off their talents and express ideas through
their art. We are proud to showcase some award winning art on our
walls.
Precita Eyes
The mural at the front of the store (opposite the registers) was
painted by local artists from Precita
Eyes. Created to honor farm workers and the earth, it was completed
just in time for the grand opening of our new Folsom Street location
back in April, 1996.

Creativity Explored
The mural above the produce area is a collaborative work between
Creativity
Explored and Rainbow workers. In 1998 Alicia McCarthy and Eric
Dekker (two Rainbow workers) painted the top half of the mural;
Creativity Explored painted the bottom panels along with the Rainbow
artists.

Sama Sama/Together
The Trainor Alley Mural is one of three San Francisco murals created
as part of the Sama-Sama/Together
project. The Rainbow site is the only mural that is the direct
result of the collaboration between local U.S. artists and the
Indonesian artist collective, Apotik Komik. Alicia McCarthy, from
our produce department contributed to bringing the project here
to Rainbow as well as the creation of the mural. The project garnered
the 2004 Precita
Eyes International Mural Award.
