This is an opportunity for South LA artists to have their work publicly displayed with messages and images that personify the current moment for all to enjoy!

The Mini Mural Contest winners will be commissioned to enhance the Los Angeles Department of Transportation utility boxes along Crenshaw boulevard to provide an immediate opportunity for local artists to contribute to the creation of the Destination Crenshaw project.

California Coronavirus Update

California Coronavirus Update: Governor Gavin Newsom Reveals Recent 56 Percent Increase In Hospitalizations, Says State Will “Lean In” On Enforcement If Businesses Don’t Comply
On Thursday at the top of his coronavirus press conference California Governor Gavin Newsom said “masks keep people healthy.” He then went on to detail the announcements, PSAs and other campaigns the state has undertaken to try and get residents to wear their masks.
The governor revealed on Thursday that the state had seen 4,056 new positive cases in the past 24 hours. Test positivity rate in California has risen to 6.3 percent over the past two weeks, he said. Over the last seven days that number has jumped to 6.9 percent. “This is why we have the mask mandate,” Newsom said.
“We’re going to see hospitalizations begin to spike as a lagging indicator,” he then warned.
