The Spirited Sloth

Best of San Francisco Street Art

Seeing San Francisco street art is on just about every "must-do" blog post about the city by the bay. With countless alleyways adorned with never-ending pieces of art from the political to the adorable, we added San Francisco street art to our "must-do" San Francisco list, too!

When you're strolling through the Mission district, there's a lot going on, but the amazing art covering so many of the buildings, walls, and alleys is hard to ignore.

Explore some of the pieces that caught our attention below, and share some of your own in the comments section!





The women's building (the very first picture) was something we stumbled upon entirely by accident. But what a cool accident!

I just fell in love with the complexity of some of these pieces and can't even imagine trying to do something similar myself. Where do you begin? I'll stick to not sharing my simplistic animal doodles with the world for the time being.





We've been posting a few of these great pieces on our Instagram, so if you have any street art (not just San Francisco) that you want to share with us, we want to see it! Just tag us in your photo!

The thing about street art is that you can discover and interpret it entirely on your own terms. We loved the SFMoMA, but there was no shortage of pretentious conversation going on around us there.

Here, in a painted alleyway, you don't have to speak in hushed tones about this leaf symbolizing the collapse of American agriculture or that shoe striking a chord about the slanted perspective of the upper-middle class.





We're constantly on the hunt for cool street art. We want you to let us know where you've found the best street art in the comments section so we don't miss anything!

Sadly, we never found the giant Bob's Burgers mural while we were in San Francisco. Where was that!?





"Tell me, my love, what have you seen today?"





Yes, that's a vagina. Finding this in Clarion alley has actually turned me into a huge fan of Danielle O'Malley's "filth cakes". Find some of her awesome artworks here on her Etsy page, and show her some love on Instagram.

Don't forget to share your favorite street art with us in the comments section or by tagging us on Instagram!

As always, thanks for reading, and don't forget to follow the sloth!
