"These Colors Don't Run" by Muraleslian, 2023

Lian has been working as a public artist in Europe for over 20 years. Her mural “Rederas” painted in the Basque region of Northern Spain was voted 3rd best mural in the world in 2022.

This is the largest Pride mural in New England (at least). “The focus of this mural is the members of Out Now, and their work to create connection, solidarity and advocacy for queer youth & allies,” said Lian.

Out Now is a youth-led, adult-advised, queer youth organization that works to promote harm reduction, self-determination, and community building through anti-oppression organizing. In 2021 and 2022, Out Now partnered with CommonWealth Murals (CWM) to create 2 small murals about queer youth's power, resilience, and ability to dream of a brighter future for themselves and everyone in and around our community.

The mural is based on a photograph by Isabella Dell’olio.
