A new mural designed by ArtEsteem students from West Oakland Middle School is coming to the West Street underpass between 35th and 36th street.


"Oakland Super Heroes Mural Project (OSH) is a crucial community development effort by Attitudinal Healing Connection (AHC) in Oakland that will engage 105 youth to be change agents in their community. This project aims to resolve issues that plague our city, create over 30 jobs, enhance our neighborhoods and reduce blight. AHC is proud to share the progress of the first large scale mural beautification and revitalization public art project in West Oakland/Emeryville."

CEO of Intrepid Electronic Systems and former Emeryville Mayor Kurt Brinkman supports the murals' message. "I got involved when I was on the school board in Emeryville, 40 percent of Emeryville students actually come from West Oakland. When you see the violence that occurs in both Oakland and Emeryville, if kids are to learn they can't have violence in their life," Brinkman said. (Article)
