Selected Projects

The courtyard of the new Marin Health & Wellness Campus in San Rafael, CA, offered a peaceful, zen-like experience. However, a key constituency of the center was the surrounding Latino community, where the cultural preference is for bold, bright colors and relevant storytelling. The Marin Arts Council and Board of Supervisors decided to enliven the courtyard with a public art mural created by artist Elly Simmons in partnership with 7Story. The recently installed mural has created a whole new energy and relevance for this user group. "It is nice to see color here," said one Latina mother. "It says we are home."
