Dear Friends, Artists, Community Members, and Supporters of CAMP,
We write to you with both gratitude and excitement as we mark a significant transition in the leadership of the Clarion Alley Mural Project.
After years of extraordinary dedication to CAMP’s mission, Megan Wilson has resigned as Co-Director, effective December 2025. Megan has been a foundational force in building CAMP into the vital, artist-run institution it is today — a community, a public space, and an organizing force rooted in San Francisco’s Mission District. From her own murals on Clarion Alley, including Capitalism Is Over! If You Want It and Housing Is A Human Right, to her leadership of landmark projects like the international exchange Sama-Sama/Together with Yogyakarta, Indonesia, to her stewardship of Manifest Differently — Megan’s vision, labor, and commitment to social, economic, racial, and environmental justice have shaped every wall, every project, and every community relationship CAMP has built since 1998.
We are profoundly grateful for everything Megan has given to this organization, to Clarion Alley, and to the broader community of artists and activists whose work she championed. Her contributions are woven into the more than 900 murals that have graced this living alley — and into the lives of the hundreds of artists CAMP has supported. We honor her as Board Member Emeritus, we thank her, and we wish her well in all that comes next.
With Megan’s departure, CAMP enters a new chapter of collaborative, community-rooted leadership. Veronica Torres, who joined CAMP in 2023 as Communications Director for Manifest Differently and became Co-Director and Board member in June 2025. A multidisciplinary artist, activist, and organizer whose work integrates personal narrative, Mexican heritage, and a fierce commitment to social justice, Veronica brings fresh energy, deep community ties, and a passionate commitment to using art as a force for meaningful change.
Joining her is Barbara Mumby-Huerta, who brings over 25 years of experience in equity-centered program development steps into the role of Co-Director and Board President. Barbara’s deep roots in Indigenous advocacy and public art make her a natural steward of CAMP’s values and mission. In addition, Ivy Jeanne McClelland, long-time CAMP collaborator and founder of the Jakmel Ekspresyon Community Arts Center has stepped in as an additional co-director. They are supported by an extraordinary board: Katayoun Bahrami, Iranian multidisciplinary artist and curator; Lian Ladia, curator and organizational director of 500 Capp Street based in San Francisco; and Kyoko Sato, Ph.D., social scientist and educator at Stanford University.
Together, this leadership team is energized and committed to carrying CAMP’s programming forward — continuing our mural programming on Clarion Alley, our educational initiatives, our community events, our international collaborations, and our unwavering support for artists whose work speaks truth to power.
CAMP has always been more than murals. It is a grassroots organizing force, a community gathering place, and a living archive of resistance, resilience, and radical imagination. That will not change. In fact, we believe the best of CAMP is still ahead.
We invite you to continue this journey with us. Visit the alley. Come to our events. Support our work. The walls of Clarion Alley have never stopped speaking — and neither will we.
With solidarity and gratitude,
Barbara, Ivy, Katayoun, Kyoko, Lian, and Veronica.
