San Francisco played a pivotal role in the life of artist Frida Kahlo. It is here that she wed Diego Rivera and befriended Dr. Eloesser who became her life-long confidant. This blog explores the life of Frida and how San Francisco impacted her life and how she left her mark on the City by the Bay. This is a blog written by a San Francisco Bay Area resident who loves Frida.

Homenaje a Frida Kahlo Galeria de la Raza
Galeria de la Raza located in San Francisco's Mission District presented the exhibition Homenaje a Frida Kahlo in November 2, 1978 - January 12, 1979. Images from the exhibition including a mural by Michael V Rios exhibition poster by artist Rupert Garcia both featuring Kahlo can be viewed online. Galeria de la Raza is under the Executive Direction of Carolina Ponce de Leon who is one of the most inspirational women I met in my post as Director of Arts & Business Partnerships at Business Arts Council in San Francisco.
