</a>True colors One of the most beautiful sights in the Mission District
is the MaestraPeace Mural, which adorns the Women's Building and is
marking a triumphant 10-year anniversary this week. Seven female artists
painted the colorful, multistory mural back in 1994, highlighting
revolutionary, courageous women from different cultures. Over the years,
MaestraPeace's powerful imagery has inspired those who attend events at
the Women's Building (proving that once in a while you can judge a book
by its cover); it's also an eye-catching landmark that's weathered
numerous acts of hateful vandalism. Head down to the Women's Building
which also happens to be celebrating a monumental year, with 25 candles
on the cake for a street fair honoring the mural, the women who created
it, and the community that holds it in appropriately high esteem. The
festivities include performances by drum-and-dance troupe Loco Bloco,
belly dancers Mirage, Barauna Capoeira, and others as well as live
music, booths featuring grassroots women artists, kids' activities, and
much more. Noon-5 p.m., Women's Building, 3543 18th St., S.F. Free. (415)
