The Mural Conservancy of Los Angeles (MCLA) was founded in 1987, by Bill Lasarow (Publisher and editor of ArtScene, co-publisher of Visual Art Source) and Kent Twitchell (world-reknown muralist) who sought to make an organization that would restore, preserve, and document murals in the greater Los Angeles Area. In addition to these goals, MCLA also works to protect the legal rights of artists, and to avoid the destruction of noteworthy pieces of public art. In addition to it's founders, MCLA was created in part through the support of artists, city and state officials, public art advocates and restoration specialists. [1]
