LA Artist gives back with sapphic Pride design and LGBTQ mural
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (KABC) -- Meet Melanie Posner, the artist for ABC7's 2026 Pride Month T-shirt.
Posner is a fine artist and muralist located in Los Angeles, California. She is known for painting vibrant photo-realistic women.
Her art can be seen all over the Los Angeles area.
ABC7 partnered with Smile South Central to identify Pulsinelle to design the shirt.
Posner believes that her collaboration with ABC7 is a social responsibility to give back to the LGBTQ+ community.
" I'm really excited that I was able to create this year's Pride shirt for ABC7. " said Posner.
Posner's latest mural has just been unveiled in West Hollywood, now featured at SweetWater nightclub.
"It is of two sapphic women for this sapphic club." I wanted it to give the illusion of being out and about in WeHo with the neon lighting and effects," said Posner.
Representation matters, and Posner is committed to continuing her work by creating pieces that tell the stories of the LGBQIA+ communities.
ABC7 will donate its proceeds from the sale of our Pride-themed merchandise at abc7.com/shop to support AIDS Walk Los Angeles and APLA Health.
AIDS Walk LA returns to West Hollywood Park on Sunday, October 18.
