Description

A mural dedicated to peace, 1991, Surplus Value Center, exterior, 1065 Hyperion Avenue (at Sunset Boulevard), Silver Lake. 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 Luis 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. House paint, 1500 square feet, by Annie Sperling and local youths. -- Dunitz, Street gallery, rev. 2nd ed., p. 109, #20.
