Murals of the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District

Garrett Sohnly, a local artist and member of the LCD’s Arts and Culture Committee, has been compiling a slideshow of the murals and street art of our neighborhood.

View our Mural Slideshow here.

We are also developing a “Map ‘o Murals” using Google Map technology.  The map includes photographs of the murals, addresses, the artist’s name (where we know it), and where to learn more.   You can use the small embedded version below, but for best results:

You can help us maintain, improve, and expand this map:

If you have better information that the map offers (the mural title, artist’s name,  etc.), please share it with us.  

If you spot a mural in our District – or other example of Leather Culture in the general vicinity of South of Market – send us  a picture, telling us where it is, and anything you know about the artwork or the artist(s) who created it.


The Arts and Culture Committee of the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District is very invested in the murals and public art visible throughout our special, South of Market neighborhood.

Solidarity with Transgender Cultural District

The LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District supports and stands in solidarity with the Transgender Cultural District, the Castro LGBTQ Cultural District, and San Francisco Pride, following the decision by Mayor London Breed to stand in alliance with the San Francisco Police Department and the Police Officers Association by boycotting the upcoming 52nd San Francisco Pride Parade and Celebration.
