Description
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 wall. Both murals commemorate a local street fair that has been held for 11 of the past 12 years. The Sunset Junction Neighborhood Alliance, a gay service group, introduced the fair in 1980 as a constructive way to combat gay-bashing and promote more tolerance and understanding in the community.
