Barrio Logan's Art Community
Barrio Logan is home to a thriving artists' community, with a rich cultural tradition
headlined by the district's crown jewel, Chicano Park. The park is listed on the
National Registry of Historic Places and is an iconic destination where visitors can
explore Chicano history in one of the largest collections of public murals in North
America. The art community in Barrio Logan has taken a nod from Chicano Park and
is home to numerous artist collectives, galleries and events including the monthly
Barrio Art Crawl.
