Anthony Jimenez is a second generation Latinx Artist, muralist, and educator, residing in
San Francisco CA. Growing up in the Bay Area, cultural diversity influenced his ideology.
Inspired to get an art degree when witnessing the power of visual imagery, Jimenez
studied how art could be used reciprocally with the community to change our public
spaces for the better.
After moving to San Francisco, Jimenez found mentors in the vibrant arts & culture
community of the Mission District where he shares the same mission as his peers — to
influence public discourse for the greater good through the Arts, and to celebrate our
heritage and roots so that we may empower others like us.
Jimenez holds a B.A. in Visual and Public Art from CSU Monterey Bay and has been a
grantee from the San Francisco Arts Commission for work celebrating people through
portraiture that have made an impact on his life. He participated as an artist in residence,
funded by SFAC at Medicine for Nightmares, and is currently teaching Mural Arts at the
Youth Art Exchange.
Through The ReGen Artist Fund, Jimenez will co-create mixed media paintings with
members of the community in a project titled “Honor The Path Makers”. Through
workshops, Jimenez will guide participants to co-create portraits of people who have
had an impact in their lives and have added value to our community through their
contributions. This project celebrates the diverse makeup of the Mission and empowers
the community through artmaking and storytelling.
