CALAC Mural

 CALIC is the Community Alliance of Lane County and it stated purpose is: “Educating and mobilizing for peace, human dignity and social, racial and economic justice.”  Located in the heart of the Whitaker neighborhood at 485 Blair Boulevard. 

The mural pictured above was painted by the Youth Mural Project in 2006.  The theme of the mural is “Shoulders to Stand On; proclaiming the need for past, present and future activist to come together to advocate effectively for social change”. Their intent was to show that “diversity as integral to Eugene’s vitality, encourage people to accept one another, and strengthen support for an inclusive community.”  A beautiful goal. 

Right across the street from the CALC office is the New World Café & New Day Bakery (one of my favorite breakfast spots) that features a mural by Kari Johnston.
