Four massive murals by prominent Chicano artists will adorn a mixed-use development taking shape on the fringes of Olvera Street and Chinatown, one of the oldest sections of Los Angeles. The murals, which were unveiled this week as construction hums along on the two-block project, were inspired by El Aliso, an historic sycamore tree that represents “the values of community, family, and cultural heritage.”
