Pomona Mayor Norma Torres, Councilmembers George Hunter, Freddie Rodriguez, Cristina Carrizosa, Paula Lantz, Elliott Rothman, Stephen Atchley, artist Dexter Frankel are expected to attend along with the artists which created the mural and their supporters.

This celebration and reunion is scheduled to acknowledge the artists that designed and executed the mural as a gift to the City of Pomona. It is the result of a community-based project, "Envisioning the Future," that took place in the Pomona Arts Colony 2002 – 2004; facilitated by renowned artist Judy Chicago, photographer Donald Woodman and Cal Poly Pomona. The mural has become a favorite icon for the City and the celebration is long overdue.

The plaque is one of attribution to the following artists:

Envisioning the Future Artists: Kevin Stewart-Magee, Lead Artist, Lief Frederick, Sandra Gallegos, Cori Griffin-Ruiz, Rupert Hernandez, Lynne Kumra, Yolanda Londono, Amy Runyen, Chris Toovey, Mary Kay Wilson

Community Artists: Erin Campbell, Athena Hahn, Joy McAllister, Fred Stewart-Magee
