FEEDBACK ON PROPOSED MURAL
Monday, February 10 deadline to provide feedback. We love that so much public art is happening in the neighborhood! Do you? There is a new proposal from the Castro LGBTQ+ Cultural District for a mural on private property at 4122 18th Street (on the wall above the Walgreens parking lot near the Serge Gay Jr. “Circle of Change” mural) with the working title of "Living Lesbian Legends” to be painted by Tanya Wischerath. You can see similar works by Wischerath on display at Queer Arts Featured Thursday-Sunday noon to 7pm at 575 Castro Street. Please let us know if you’re excited about this proposal and why. What do you think? Do you have questions? Any concerns? We’ve been asked to submit a letter of support and want to hear from neighbors before we do. We encourage you to show your support by making an unrestricted donation to the Castro LGBTQ+ Cultural District. Our board meeting is on Tuesday, February 11 so be sure to let us know your thoughts before then.
