Mural board merger
Members of the new Hermosa Beach Mural Project Board of Directors gathered recently in the Hermosa Beach Council chambers for installation of a posture featuring the 10 murals installed throughout the city over the past 10 years. The original Mural Project board dissolved upon completion of its 10-mural goal. The Hermosa Beach Historical Society has accepted responsibility for maintenance of the murals. The new board members are (left to right) Dan Inskeep and Greg McNally, of the Historical Society, and John Horger and Steve Izant, former members of the original mural board.
