Thanks to Code for America, a San Francisco-based non-profit that brings web-based solutions to city problems, residents in Philadelphia can now use a Smartphone app called MuralApp to locate public art throughout the city and select individual pieces to learn more about the artist and the history behind the work.

Wouldn’t it be great this cutting-edge San Francisco-based organization bring MuralApp to San Francisco? Let’s let them know there’s a market for this very cool app right at home! Sign the petition now, and read more at http://www.resetsanfrancisco.org

San Francisco has truly remarkable works of art, and new masterpieces are coming alive every day. They tell a story of a people’s struggle, of our living history and encapsulate a vision for a better future. Take a stroll through Balmy Alley in the vibrant Mission District, in the industrial streets of SoMa or around the historic Haight-Ashbury neighborhood to explore our rich art culture for yourself. Precita Eyes is one art group that has been painting public surfaces in San Francisco for over three decades – all at the request of the property owners themselves.

MuralApp is a perfect example of how technology and web 2.0 tools can deepen citizen engagement and connect a city with its living culture. Test out MuralApp here: muralapp.mobi.
