Murals of Lincoln Heights Focus of Historical Lecture
The Los Angeles Conservancy and the Lincoln Heights Neighborhood and Preservation Assn. will present a 70-year retrospective Wednesday about historical murals in the local community.
According to the conservancy, the history of murals in Lincoln Heights dates to the 1930s, starting with projects at Lincoln High School by noted Work Projects Administration artist Manuel de las Torres and at County-USC Medical Center by Hugo Ballin.
The Eastside community later served as a studio for works by Chicano artists Frank Romero, Roberto Delgado, Wayne Alaniz Healy and David Botello of East Los Angeles Streetscapers.
Healy and Delgado will discuss their murals.
“Lincoln Heights has one of the finest collection of murals to be found anywhere in the city, and this program will explore them in their historical context,” said Linda Dishman, Los Angeles Conservancy executive director.
The program will be held in the auditorium of Lincoln High School, 3401 N. Broadway at 7:30 p.m. It is free to the public.
