WHO: The Bayview Opera House
WHAT: Needs Your Input on a New Mural Project
WHERE: The survey can be found and completed at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YLDZYK6
CONTACT: Ivy Anderson, Event and Volunteer Coordinator, Office: (415)824-0386, ivy@bvoh.org
NOTES: The Bayview Opera House has teamed up with the San Francisco Department of the
Environment to paint a mural that will express our vision for an environmentally sustainable Bayview,
and will educate residents about properly disposing of their used motor oil. Since July 2008, over 1,300
cases of illegal oil dumping in D10 have been reported to 311, despite there being many free and legal
dumping sites nearby. Illegal dumping is contributing to the already rampant pollution of our district,
and we are ready to tackle this issue head on. Once a final location and design are decided upon,
muralist Cameron Moberg will teach a 3 week course on mural making with local teens, some of whom
will be hired to help him execute the final mural. This will be a great opportunity to engage local youth
in the arts, the environment, and the community. We need the community's input on this project. What
do our neighbors already know about oil pollution and how to prevent it? Where should this mural be
located in order to reach the most people and to stop the biggest offenders? What ideas and imagery
should be included in the mural? Can you take 5 minutes to fill out our online community survey? And
please pass this link along to your friends and neighbors here in Bayview! We will also be gathering input
during our upcoming series of 3rd on Third events, at local high schools, at community events, and out
on Third St. To stay updated on this project and the many ways to get involved, leave your name and
email at the end of the survey and I will add you to our mailing list.
