The San Anselmo Arts Commission is seeking a professional artist to paint a mural on the East side wall of the building located at 1608 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in San Anselmo. The one-story wall is a combination of stucco and concrete block, highly visible traveling West along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, a busy arterial road in Marin County.
