One of CAMP's goals is aesthetic diversity and the displayed work represents a wide range of styles. The topics also range widely: when I visited, several murals depicted developer backlash and animosity toward the “techies” driving up rents. (As a municipal law attorney, these types of struggles particularly fascinate me.) Also, since possession of small amounts of marijuana has been decriminalized in CA, I wasn't surprised to see a mural promoting full legalization of weed.
The work is also temporary: one of the artists I met said that she was painting over a mural she’d created early, after getting CAMP approval.
Because the art is ever-changing and deserves to be documented, I’m posting more images than I otherwise would.
