Peraton DSN Mural Reveal

As featured in the Workforce Development section of the 2024-2025 Annual Report, Dionysus Creative partnered with Peraton DSN and the K12 Foothill Consortium to restore the outdoor mural at Peraton DSN in Monrovia. This hands-on learning project provided CTE mural interns with professional training in color theory and mural restoration, while Peraton DSN offered industry context, including a tour of JPL and insights into the mural’s historical significance.

The project culminated in a celebration attended by students, families, school board members, and community stakeholders. Together, we showcased how education and industry can unite to foster community pride and career readiness.

This project, also highlighted in the Workforce Development section of the Annual Report, will debut at LA Train Fest at Union Station in September 2025 and later be featured at the iconic Philippe’s Restaurant in Downtown LA.
