Back in May, we told you about an effort under way to put local artists’ work on 50 Muni buses. Those selected from the preliminary entrants would be put up to a public vote.

Well, online voting will be live until July 17 (this Friday). That means that you, too, can vote in SF Beautiful’s contest to put local artists’ work on Muni buses. To vote, click the “Me Too” button. How adorable.

Okay, get to it!
