The Art Wall, situated on Valencia Street between 23rd and 24th streets in San Francisco's Mission District, has been a key part of the local art scene since Bruce Tomb's acquisition of an old police station in 1996. After paying $560,000, Tomb converted the space into a home and architecture studio. In 2019, he sold the property for $6.8 million to Mission Neighborhood Centers, while ensuring that the Art Wall remained intact as a cultural landmark. Matthew Lasar documented this heritage in a video on March 21, 2025.
