As you may have recently heard, Precita Eyes has been at risk for losing their historic space at Precita Park in the Mission District. They need to raise 200K in loans and donations before escrow closes on January 22nd, 2016.

344-348 Precita Ave, in San Francisco, includes 3 residential units and the original studio of Precita Eyes Muralists, all of whom have lived and worked in the building for 40 years. The landlord is selling the building and MEDA, Mission Economic Development Association, a local non-profit is willing to buy it on their behalf so that they can stay in their homes and businesses.

Besides participating in the Benefit Show, there are a few way you can help right now!
