Castro Rainbow Honor Walk

Castro Rainbow Honor Walk

Walk the Castro, sharing stories of LGBTQ icons. Choose one to create an art piece inspired by their legacy.


Choose an Artistic Medium

Choose an Artistic Medium

Choose between embroidery, mosaic, or beadwork, and I’ll guide you through the techniques to bring your piece to life.


Craft an Art Piece of a Queer Icon

Craft an Art Piece of a Queer Icon

Create a handmade tribute to your chosen icon—embroider, bead, or mosaic their likeness.


Some of the most powerful stories in queer history are written right into the streets of San Francisco -- and in this one-of-a-kind experience, you get to walk them, learn them, and turn them into art! Led by Keith, a teacher with a Master's in Education for Social Justice, this experience starts with a guided stroll along the Rainbow Honor Walk in the heart of the Castro District. You'll hear the stories of iconic queer activists, artists, and trailblazers brought to life in ways that go far beyond a plaque on the sidewalk. It's one of the most meaningful things to do in San Francisco, whether you're a local or visiting for the first time.
After the walk, you'll head into a hands-on creative workshop where you choose one icon who moved you and make something in their honor. Think embroidery, beading, and small mosaic design -- accessible, tactile, genuinely fun creative activities guided step-by-step. This San Francisco art class welcomes every skill level, so whether this is your first beading class or you've dabbled in mosaic art, you'll leave with a handmade keepsake that means something real. This is queer history, creativity, and community -- all in one afternoon!
