Murals Under Attack

San Francisco is world famous for its historic murals, yet there is now a struggle to defend them from destruction, being covered over or hidden from the public.

This panel will look at the effort to destroy or remove the Arnautoff murals in George Washington High, the Bernard Zackheim murals at UCSF, the murals at SF Art Institute and the San Francisco City College Diego Rivera mural.

Speakers:
Professor Bob Cherney, Author of the  Victor Arnautoff and the Politics of Art – A political biography of the great California muralist
Harvey Smith, Living New Deal Project Adviser
Madeline Mueller, chair of CCSF Music Department
