The Social and Public Arts Resource Center (SPARC) celebrates several significant public art works with an upcoming event at its Venice, California, headquarters. The celebration, 2-5 p.m., June 28, 2009, closes “Current Public Art Productions of the UCLA/SPARC Cesar Chavez Digital Mural Lab,” an exhibition featuring artwork by Judy Baca including the Cesar E. Chavez Monument: The Arch of Dignity, Equality and Justice at San Jose State University and the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial at the RFK Learning Center in Los Angeles. The event includes an open house at the Digital Mural Lab's SPARC facilities. During the reception, there will also be a performance by The Lefteous Sisters who wrote a song for the Save LA Murals campaign initiated by Baca to bring attention to the deteriorating condition of hundreds of L.A. murals.
