Michael Nolan, a reader, offered Mission Loc@l this footage of Patricia Rodriguez and Graciela Carrillo
working on a mural in the Mini Park in 1975. The mural is still in the Mini-Park on the 24th Street, Mission.

I worked on this 30-minute documentary, “Art Works”, about the federally funded CETA Arts Program in San Francisco in 1975. It was produced, filmed and edited by Optic Nerve, a pioneering group in the use of portable video. They’re still going strong as Ideas in Motion, headquartered in Berkeley.
