San Francisco’s famous ‘Painted Ladies’ host a honey-bear art show
Ever watch “Full House,” with its opening credits showing the famous Painted Ladies houses in San Francisco, and think: “I want to be there”?
Now you can, thanks to a unique show that’s colonized one of these notable domicles. Bay Area street artist fnnch recently claimed the Pink Painted Lady near Alamo Square park as his own personal gallery, and is using it to showcase more than a hundred paintings from the last decade. “The Painted Ladies are a major tourist attraction, but once you get your photo from the hill, there is nothing to do,” he writes. “The fnnch Museum will invite people for free into one of the houses.”
The subject of this retrospective is the humble Honey Bear, that plastic ursine-shaped bottle of honey found in grocery markets all over the world. Why’s fnnch been painting Honey Bears for so long? As he once told a news outlet: “I think it’s a universal symbol of happiness. It’s got nostalgia, it’s got desire because it contained sugar, which is something we deeply wanted as kids, and it’s an all around positive image.”
Details: Show runs approximately noon-8 p.m. Wednesday-Sunday through summer 2025 at 714 Steiner St., San Francisco; free but reservations are required for entry, museum.fnnch.com
