La Ofrenda
"La Ofrenda" by Yreina Cervantez, located under the bridge on Toluca and Second St. in Downtown, Los Angeles

Our very own Professor Yreina Cervantez painted "La Ofrenda" in 1989 at the current location.  With time it was covered by graffity and then completely covered by another mural.  SPARC covered the restoration efforts which started in July 2016.  You can view the great article at https://sparcinla.org/projects/iconic-la-mural-saved-la-ofrenda-by-yreina-cervantez/.
