Description
The 16th Avenue Steps are covered by a beautiful tile mosaic covering 163 steps with imaginative fish, water, and animal imagery. This celebration of color is a group effort; San Francisco artists Aileen Barr and Collette Crutcher gave guidance to over 300 neighbors who helped with the project. In addition, over 220 individuals donated handmade tiles to produce an innovative work of community art. This work of art is not just a celebration of local talent, but also a demonstration of San Francisco's unique (and often preposterous) topography. This is one of the city's many dizzying climbs that you won't forget.
