The La Verne Fire Department (LVFD) received an alarm at 5:02 Wednesday evening to respond to a possible fire on the corner of First and D Streets, the site of the ULV Art Building.
Controversy over location and a lack of support for last year’s proposal for a mural celebrating diversity on campus has caused artists Lisa Scott and Yasuyuki Nagasawa to lose the passion and inspiration they originally felt and abandon the project.
Seniors Yasuyuki Nagasawa and Lisa Scott had planned on painting the 10- by 40-foot multicultural mural shown above on the new greenhouse wall as part of an independent study project. The wall, located across from Dailey Theatre, had been rebuilt this semester after drainage problems were found. A mural of a skyscape that was used as a meditative location for theater actors was torn down with it.
