Previously we have participated in Culver City Arts District clean up in 2014 and 2015, as non-profit organization, Siqueiros Foundation of the Arts is wiling to help in future community clean up to beautify and bring community together with others.

Siqueiros Foundation of the Arts estimates several dozens of volunteers will gather on Sunday afternoon from Noon to 4pm to help remove garbage and unwanted debris from Mural Alley behind La Cienega Blvd and Cullen St to prepare for the unveiling of the Memorial plaque to honor and recognize the artists that came together to create the “La voz de La Gente” mural, a 100 foot mural that was created by 25 diverse artists in Summer 2012.
Each year since the making of mural of the La Voz de la Gente was created in Culver City CA Art’s District. Anna Siqueiros purposely has picked a day, which is also her birthday to celebrate and to join the community. Donating her birthday for this special events is her gift to her late uncle David Alfaro Siqueiros and to the different communities .

La Voz de la Gente, carries on the philosophy of muralist, David Alfaro Siqueiros. In one day, a multicultural diverse collective of muralists and graffiti artists came together under the direction of Anna E. Siqueiros. Pronouncing a reflective action of collectiveness, unity, and community building in today’s 21st century ethics of street painting in Los Angeles.
The mural “La Voz de la Gente, La Resurrecion de Cuauhtémoc en las Americas: Homenaje a David Alfaro Siqueiros” represents a fusion of the past, present, and future, as an act of praxis in the creation of spaces.
“La Voz de la Gente, La Resurrecion de Cuauhtémoc en las Americas: Homenaje a David Alfaro Siqueiros” links an umbilical chord to America Tropical a mural painted in 1932 by a collective of 25 diverse artists known as el Mural Block Painters under the direction of Mexican muralist, David Alfaro Siqueiros. His niece, Anna E. Siqueiros, whose grandfather, Carlos Siqueiros was brother to Teresa Siqueiros, mother to David Alfaro Siqueiros, continues her uncles’ mural painting ethics of collectiveness, unity, and community building.
The mural, “La Voz de la Gente, La Resurrecion de Cuauhtémoc en las Americas: Homenaje a David Alfaro Siqueiros” cultivated a family community environment in public space; embracing the legacy of David Alfaro Siqueiros, past, present, and future.
This year, the Community Clean Up in the Culver City Arts District brings the community together at the height of local enthusiasm to revitalize a local urban area and beautify an area that has been long overdue of a visual makeover.
