Glendale Library Arts and Culture, the Glendale YMCA, and ace/121 Galleryare pleased to announce the unveiling of “Yoshito in the Forest,” the first mural to be commissioned by the City of Glendale.
As part of Glendale Library Arts and Culture’s “Art Happens Anywhere” initiative, muralist Ayumi Chisolm (SANOizm) was selected to paint Glendale’s first commissioned mural. Completed in mid-January, the mural was installed on a north-facing wall at the entrance to Glendale’s YMCA on Louise Street.
The ace/121 Gallery will be displaying a series of images showing Ayumi’s early sketches and photographs of the mural installation.
As part of a formal “unveiling” of the mural on March 5th, 2022, please join Glendale city council members, Glendale Arts and Culture commissioners, the YMCA and the ace/121 Gallery as we officially unveil to Glendale what is sure to be the first of many beautiful murals that will grace our city.
The mural is a part of the Art Happens Anywhere (AHA) Program, sponsored by the Glendale Arts and Culture Commission through funding from the Urban Art Program and was made possible by the Glendale YMCA, and the ace/121 Gallery/EngAGE.
The unveiling of “Yoshito in the Forest” in Glendale is such an inspiring celebration of creativity and community! It’s amazing to see public art projects like this one that bring together local organizations and artists to enhance the city’s cultural landscape. I’m excited to see how this mural will contribute to the vibrant atmosphere of the area and encourage more public art initiatives in the future.
