A protest was recently held at the site of a gray whale mural in Laguna Canyon with the goal of protecting the Wyland 'whaling wall.'
For more than 30 years, a mural of a gray whale emerging from the water has greeted those who pass the property at 2171 Laguna Canyon Road.
The visual of the gray whale breaching the surface is considered one in a series of 100 “whaling walls” around the world created by Wyland between 1981 and 2008. “We’d like to use that billboard sign for something other than a tenant that does not occupy space there anymore,” said Chris Dornin, the CEO of the Dornin Investment Group.
“Someone that buys a building shouldn’t be allowed to simply destroy art that has become part of the community. We think that’s something worth fighting for. It’s why there are now laws to protect public art.“The mural has become too fragile to remove without suffering irreparable damage. We think it needs to stay right where it is, where it can inspire people and share the city’s commitment to art and our environment.
