The mosaic artwork's design will honor a section of the National Veterans Mural by artist and U.S. Navy veteran Peter Stewart, dedicated in 1995, a portion of which will be decommissioned during the construction of the future Westwood/VA Hospital Station. This decommissioned section of the original mural, which cannot be relocated due to the age and condition of the wall, is currently painted on the off-ramp wall from westbound Wilshire Boulevard to Bonsall Avenue near the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) West Los Angeles Medical Center. The majority of the over 23,000-square-foot mural, will remain and be protected in place during construction.

Stay tuned to see the veteran led design for the new mural section!
