Commissioners highlighted a new mural at Vin Scully Centennial Park and credited local artist Carla Roque for leading the effort with teen participants. "The artist is somebody we've worked with, Carla Roque," a staff member said, noting Roque painted an earlier mural and engaged teens in the project.
Commissioners described the mural as reflective of park amenities—pets, music, and family spaces—and said the project supports the commission's interest in youth art programming. One commissioner said they plan to continue advocating for recurring youth art opportunities as an alternative to graffiti and to create regular summer activities for local young artists.
