Mural Conservancy of Los Angeles

Made with local youth. A diverse gathering of people surrounded by giant butterflies and flowers, and watched over by a nurturing sun. This mural replaces another, Sunset Junction Street Fair, painted for the Citywide Mural Project in 1982 by Carlos Callejo and Louis Jacinto. That mural couldn't be saved as it was peeling off the walls. Both murals commemorate a local street fair that has been around since 1980. It was introduced by the Sunset Junction Neighborhood Alliance, a gay service group, as a constructive way to combat gay-bashing and promote more tolerance and understanding in the community. Restored by MCLA in 1994. Photo: © Robin Dunitz
