The Bay Mosaic is a stunning work of art. It’s located on a stairway in San Francisco. It’s a community project. Neighbors donated and worked together. They transformed 163 ordinary steps into a masterpiece.

Inspired by a similar mosaic in Rio de Janeiro the project took a summer to complete. Over 220 neighbors sponsored handmade tiles. The tiles depict animals birds and fish. More than 300 people helped install the tiles. The mosaic depicts scenes of the sea land and sky. Bright colors abound.

The staircase starts at 16th Avenue and Moraga Street. As you climb you see scenes of the ocean with sea creatures and shells. Higher up you’ll notice flowers hummingbirds dragonflies and bumblebees. The design culminates in a sunburst at the top.
