 \n\nABOUT ART IN STOREFRONTS \nArt in Storefronts temporarily places 
 original art installations and murals by San Francisco-based artists into a 
 total of four vacant storefront windows and two walls located in Chinatown. 
 This inventive citywide project engages local artists and reinvigorates 
 neighborhoods that have been hard-hit by the economic downturn. It also 
 provides artists, who have also been affected by the downturn economy, with 
 a unique opportunity to showcase their creativity in transforming vacant 
 storefronts into free exhibition spaces and to garner public recognition 
 for their work.\n\n
