You are invited to come and celebrate the completion of “A Place In Mind”, a large-scale mural in downtown San Jose’s SoFA District by artist José Arenas.

José started working on the mural six weeks ago and it was recently completed with the help of two gifted artists, Michael Torchia and Oscar Lopez, and a host of enthusiastic volunteers. José will lead a tour of the mural and light refreshments will be served at the mural site on the corner of South First and San Salvador streets.

These are just some of the events for August 7th's South FIRST FRIDAYS artwalk. For the full event schedule of all 13 participating venues, please visit http://www.SouthFIRSTFRIDAYS.com
