Paint the Void's mission is to create Public Art as a path to civic rejuvenation.

PtV is a non-profit arts collective born out of the coronavirus pandemic. We match local artists with local businesses, organizes public donation, then commissions uplifting murals, turning boarded-up storefronts into primed canvases for public art. The process keeps artists at work, beautifies the neighborhoods all across San Francisco, and gives small-business owners a new lease of hope, drawing the local community into the conversation at every opportunity.  Paint The Void has now completed 230+ murals, received massive acclaim from public and private sectors, and touched the lives of thousands of Bay Area residents. 

The project was founded and is executed by arts organization, Building 180, and is made possible with various branches of volunteers that enable different stages of the process to come to life.  Paint The Void continues it’s important work throughout San Francisco/Bay Area, and welcomes all direct support from interested benefactors.

Paint The Void is always seeking volunteers to assist in our efforts. As we launch new campaigns and projects we reach out to new volunteers to assist in anything from project management of the murals to helping paint.
