Putting Mural Up for Sale ‘Immoral’

* This is to express profound disappointment that the San Clemente mural, at the historical site corner of Avenida del Mar and El Camino Real, is for sale. Not only were the artists never given recognition, that mural was donated by Studio Sylvain (and Sylvain), its creator, to the city of San Clemente for all of its residents to enjoy through public viewing. The city turned it down on the basis that they had “no place to store it.”

If anyone should benefit financially, it should be Studio Sylvain. But, it was not done for this reason.

We would rather see it destroyed than to have it used for this blatantly immoral purpose.
