Previously, on the corner of Portland and Central, there was a non-descript building. A bland façade that would be easy to miss. Now, it has been transformed by Jake Early and Quinn Murphy into a bold, bright attraction that’s impossible to ignore.

The mural is a striking testament to love and acceptance, much like one-n-ten, one of the organizations that helped support its creation. One-n-ten, located in Downtown Phoenix, provides support and programs for LGBTQ+ youth.

“LOVE,” the mural, stretches across an entire side of the Parsons Center for Health and Wellness building and is easily visible from the Roosevelt/Central Avenue light rail station.

Love, the feeling, can be felt by all who see it.
