“As an artist, I create sites of public memory to heal and transform our public spaces by making images that articulate the dreams of a community for the future.” -Judy Baca #judybaca #chicana #muralist #sparcart

Congressman Tony Cardenas honored the lives and contributions of notable individuals from the East San Fernando Valley at the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. One of the women mentioned was our Creative Director, Judy Baca. So proud of you, Judy! 🙌🏽✨ #judybaca

Our Great Wall of LA team is working on a specific section of the 60’s. Can you guess which historical moment this is? #crow #greatwalloflosangeles #greatwallofla #lariver #socialjustice #judybaca #socialart #murals instagram.com/p/CnNvKfxvZH_/… – at Los Angeles, CA

Domestic violence did not stop during the pandemic, violence against women increased, hate and racism were fueled. But SPARC did not stop either, we took into people’s homes, virtual art exhibitions and global art movements against gender and race-based violence #socialjustice

The Great Wall sought to recover histories largely left out of history books and heal racial, gender, and class divisions. "I think if it wasn't for this mural for me to have my name on it and to have accomplished something, I don't know where I'd be." -Ernestine Jimenez. #SPARC

Emily Winters’ 1990 Venice Boardwalk mural ‘Endangered Species’ was restored to its full splendor by SPARC's Mural Rescue Team with support from The Venice Arts Council Endangered Art Fund, the W.S. Scharff Foundation, and local Park Place residents. #murals #art #sparcinla

On this rare occasion when the water runs again through the Tujunga wash, our construction team is working on phase 1 of the restoration of interpretative stations and we are reminded that the Great Wall of LA is a tattoo on the scar where the river once ran. #historyofla

We are halfway through #givingtuesday day but you can still support our efforts to train new generations of artists and preserve The Great Wall of Los Angeles monument. Make a difference today! sparcinla.org/donate

We are ecstatic to share that after two weeks of SPARC’s Mural Rescue Team’s efforts, “Hitting the Wall” is now fully visible! The restoration is not yet fully completed, as more touch ups are still neccessary - but we are excited for the incredible progress that has been made!
