Work began last week on a new wall mural on the side of Ace Hardware at the corner of 3rd Avenue and Clement.

The project is a collaboration between The Clement Street Merchants Association, The San Francisco Arts Commission, Standard Plumbing Ace Hardware, The Richmond District YMCA, and Supervisor Eric Mar.

The mural’s artist is Jason Jagel, who was chosen out of hundred of possible artists according to Cynthia Huie of the Clement Street Merchants Assocation. Jagel’s work appears in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The UCLA Hammer Museum and the Portland Museum of Art, among others.

The mural is being funded by Supervisor Eric Mar’s office from a fund for neighborhood beautification, as well as by the San Francisco Arts Commission.
