Youth create a mural with a message of inclusivity and diversity

A new mural at the City's Louden Nelson Center, titled "Unify, Decolonize, Thrive" means the world to the youth that created it. The mural is the first in Santa Cruz County to represent and address issues, themes, and experiences that are important to queer youth. Watch the video to learn more about this amazing project. This project was a partnership between the Diversity Center and the City. A mural matching grant from the City helped fund the project.

Bianco’s mural, entitled “Jump In!”, is inspired by the passion and energy of the people of Santa Cruz.
