Ode To Our Soldiers Mural Unveiling

Last week, artworxLA joined Councilman Curren D. Price Jr., Patrick Henry Johnson and our U.S. Veterans for the unveiling of "Penta-Loom: Ode to Our Soldiers" mural and square dedication of Benjamin J. Bowie American Legion 228. The mural pays tribute to the many servicemen and women of South Central Los Angeles.

Muralist Patrick Henry Johnson and artworxLA Alumni Alfredo Alvarado shared their creative experience in producing the large-scale mural dedicated to fallen African American heroes. Councilman Curren D. Price, Jr., Union Bank, and the Department of Cultural Affairs supported the creation of the mural.
