&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Public art is ephemeral.&nbsp;We are passionate about preserving and enriching our community&rsquo;s murals, and adding new ones, in order to truly celebrate Los Osos. Join us in this multi-phase public art restoration and expansion project.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Los Osos has 4 murals:&nbsp;Ca&ntilde;ada de Los Osos, Chumash Bear Dance, Portola&rsquo;s Sacred Expedition and El Moro Elfin Forest. They&nbsp;were painted to reflect the unique identity and values of our community, telling stories that are important to our residents and visitors alike. These murals help to preserve&nbsp;local history and identity, while promoting a greater understanding and appreciation of different cultures.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Our murals are now over 30 years old and need restoration. Driving by at 30 mph they look great. Up close they are faded and peeling.&nbsp;It&rsquo;s important to restore them because&nbsp;they act as visual records of history, culture, and artistic expression, connecting us to previous generations.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;We have selected Ca&ntilde;ada de Los Osos, on the corner of Los Osos Valley Road and 10th Street (the Carlocks shopping center) as our first restoration project. We have interviewed a number of muralists and have selected Manuel Cruz of Pittsburg, California as our restoration artist. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Please help us preserve these 4 murals.&nbsp;&nbsp;
