Precita Eyes Muralists Association and Center (est. 1977) was founded by Susan and Luis Cervantes, in collaboration with other artists in San Francisco’s Mission District. It is a multipurpose, community-based arts organization that has played an integral role in the city's cultural heritage and arts education. One of only three community mural centers in the United States, the organization sponsors and implements ongoing mural projects throughout the Bay Area and internationally. Though they predominantly serve the Mission District with murals and programming, Precita Eyes has also collaborated on projects in other San Francisco neighborhoods, as well as international projects in Russia, Germany, Spain, and Brazil. At the Graduate Center’s James Gallery, the team of artists who will paint a site-specific mural include Max Allbee, Fred Alvarado, Suaro Cervantes and Marina Perez-Wong.
