Baldwin Park : Muralist to Create Rail Art
Judy Baca, a muralist with extensive background in public art, has been chosen to create an art project at Baldwin Park’s commuter rail station.
An associate professor at UC Irvine, Baca is the director of “The Great Wall of Los Angeles,” the world’s largest mural, in the Tujunga Wash flood control channel.
Baca was chosen Wednesday from a field of 25 artists. The Baldwin Park art project will cost $60,000 and will be funded by the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission and state transportation funds.
The rail station, to be across the street from City Hall, is expected to be completed in October.
