We reported earlier on how spray paint artist Chor Boogie was stabbed last weekend while confronting paint thieves as he worked on his mural, “The Perception of Color Therapy” in the city of San Francisco at 1028 Market Street. Chor is in pain, but resting up and preparing for a return to this amazing creation this Saturday.

The mural was commissioned by the San Francisco Arts Commission to beautify the community. The mural is nearly ½ of a city block long in the heart of San Francisco. He and all of us are extremely lucky that his life was not taken in this turn of events.

Mayor Gavin Newsom has visited Chor at the mural site and even helped along with the painting at one point.

Join in welcoming Chor back to the mural this Saturday, November 21, 2009, from 10:45am - 2pm. Chor will give a brief welcome speech and a live demonstration on the mural. He will also pick some children from the audience to participate in painting the mural.

Director of Cultural Affairs Luis R. Cancel said, "We are thrilled Chor will complete the mural The Color Therapy of Perception, because we know the work will brighten the streetscape and draw people to Market Street to see the completed art work. We also know artists often work in adverse settings to bring hope and change to neighborhoods and we support Chor's determination to return to Market Street to finish his painting."

Support a safer city of San Francisco, street murals, and artists in attending this open event.
