The Park Avenue Mural Project
Balboa Island Park Avenue Mural Project
A community art project was launched four years ago on Balboa Island to create a massive iridescent tile mural under the direction of a grassroots committee of Balboa Island residents. Local artist Barbara Abbott was selected to design this mural.
Now in the final phase of transforming her design, showcasing a series of individual panels depicting iconic and historic images of Balboa Island landmarks, a fundraising campaign has been launched to secure tax-deductible support of $150,000.

“We are seeking as many generous community art lovers as we can and encourage all to share in Barbara Abbott’s celebration of the island’s unique heritage. Every donation matters. We need to complete our campaign by midsummer,” said Lee Pearl, who has championed other civic art projects in the community with his wife. “Art is so important to the soul of the community. We must support and celebrate this legacy project.”
