Judy Baca says: “It’s the moment in the city history in which it decides what kind of place it is. It’s nothing less than that. If you don’t believe in the common spaces and places where we can put public memory, and you sell us everything we don’t need in every square inch of eye s......pace, and you allow the corporate world to run rampant with billboards, there is no space for public art. Maybe L.A. is choosing at this moment who the city wants to be. It’s already chosen not to be the mural capital [any longer].” Click on Image to read the full article!

Alice Patrick's Mural: One of many that needs to be saved!

Artist Alice Patrick, LA’s first African-American female muralist, is calling for support to save her hand-painted landmark mural depicting images of predominant African-American women in history; if it is not restored, it could be lost forever. The landmark mural is entitled, Women Do Get Weary, But They Don’t Give Up and was painted in 1991 by Alice Patrick. The mural features the Godmother of the Civil Rights Movement and former President of the National Council of Negro Women, Dorothy Height, who died in April 2010 at the age of 98.
