San Francisco-based artist Sam Flores is on Linden Street working on a new mural for the Hayes Valley Neighborhood Association. In collaboration with artist Ronnie Buders, Flores will reveal the wall tomorrow (Thursday, July 2nd) at a special unveiling party between 4:00-5:00pm. The mural and unveiling is on Linden Street (between Gough St. and Octavia St., across from Build Inc offices) and will be followed by drinks at Brass Tacks (488 Hayes St.) at 5:30pm.

The project was coordinated by William Buckley of the Hayes Valley Neighborhood Association and supported by Fifty24SF Gallery in association with Upper Playground. Photos and time-lapse by Gareth Gooch Photography.
