A new art installation was added to the well-known Scripps Ranch Pride Fence, marking exactly one year since the City of San Diego proclaimed it Pride Fence Day. The installation comes after more than 20 incidents of vandalism since the fence first went up in 2022, including an alleged assault just a few weeks ago. The new addition spells out "BE GOOD" across five canvas paintings, with the message behind it being "to be the good you want to see in the world."

Why it matters

The Pride Fence has faced repeated acts of vandalism, including spray-painting, paint, eggs, feces, and an alleged assault, highlighting the ongoing challenges of promoting acceptance and inclusion in the community. The new art installation is an effort to respond to the hate with a message of positivity and love.

The details

Brittany Fuller, a teacher and artist, added the new canvas installation to the Pride Fence. The paintings spell out "BE GOOD" and feature a rainbow design, drawing on the themes of the Pride Fence. Fuller says the message is an invitation "to be good, do good in the world" and to let vulnerable populations know that "we are here, we see them, and we love them."
