A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on Nov. 19 to celebrate the completion of a new mural at the Highway 101 underpass connecting Sausalito and Marin City.
Designed by local artist Raylene Gorum, the 200-foot mural features more than 500 stenciled handprints of local children on background colors that capture a sunrise to sunset color spectrum. The lightest and brightest background colors are in the center, at what was the darkest point in the tunnel.
The mural represents the culmination of two years of planning, fundraising, and negotiations with Caltrans and the County of Marin by a steering committee of local organizations that includes Marin City Performing Stars, Arts Plus Foundation, the Sausalito Foundation, and Sausalito Beautiful.
The mission of the project is to symbolize and make real the connection between our two communities and celebrate the desegregated Sausalito Marin City School District. Every day, those who move through the tunnel on foot, bicycle, or car will see an art installation that reaffirms to our young people that their future is in working together toward shared goals.
