Join the City on Friday, September 26 at 5:30 p.m. for a special community celebration as we rededicate Let It Be Known, Ventura’s oldest public art mural, at the Westpark Community Center. Originally painted in 1978 by artist Ricky Delgado and redesigned in 1996 by MB Hanrahan in collaboration with local youth groups, the mural has now been restored for a second time. This rededication honors the mural’s legacy and ensures its powerful message lives on for future generations.
