Summary of Request:
In 1979, Mendocino County Museum, with support of the Mendocino County Supervisors, used Comprehensive Employment and Training Act funding (CETA) to employ artists to create murals for the Ukiah Courthouse. The murals were carefully researched and designed to depict the diverse history and culture of the County and have graced the walls of the Ukiah Courthouse for nearly fifty years. As the Courts will be transitioning to a new facility in 2027 and the existing murals cannot physically be relocated, Mendocino County Superior Court is requesting the use of high-resolution images stewarded by the Mendocino County Museum for digital reproduction and installation at the new facility.
