Fallen Fruit is an artist collective out of San Francisco. They have an amazing and wide ranging cross-breed of issues that include urban and community planning, design, fine art, and grassroots movement. Fallen Fruit is part of that special category of artists who give people courage (despite their hilarious yet kitschy German black lettering). Artists who give us courage are those who make us feel like simply, “I Can.” They are the creatives who give back to us on-lookers, participants, and community dwellers where we may even be inspired in our own work with new ideas. Courageous artists are the ones who start the cycle of giving back and are invaluable to us.


“Public Fruit” is the concept behind the Fallen Fruit, an activist art project which started as a mapping of all the public fruit in our neighborhood. We ask all of you to contribute your maps so they expand to cover the United States and then the world. We encourage everyone to harvest, plant and sample public fruit, which is what we call all fruit on or overhanging public spaces such as sidewalks, streets or parking lots.

We believe fruit is a resource that should be commonly shared, like shells from the beach or mushrooms from the forest. Fallen Fruit has moved from mapping to planning fruit parks in under-utilized areas. Our goal is to get people thinking about the life and vitality of our neighborhoods and to consider how we can change the dynamic of our cities and common values.

-Fallen Fruit is David Burns, Matias Viegener, and Austin Young
