| The mural at 5th & Somerset began with the idea of creating
something positive, uplifting, and meaningful in the community. The mural
design was developed with the intention of reflecting, and celebrating the
arts and culture of this community. The design incorporates images of local
dancers, musicians, and artists. The mural also incorporates writings by
local poets, and original paintings by local visual artists. The base colors
of the mural gesture to the name of the street, the "Bloco di Oro," or "Golden Block." Co-sponsor: Hispanic Assoiciation of Contractors and Enterprises |
