Mill Valley Police are looking at surveillance video trying to figure out who vandalized an art installation at Tamalpais High School over the weekend.
The work, titled "Perspectives: Past, Present and Future," is made up of three free-standing doors, with themes evoking the history of racism in southern Marin. The artwork was vandalized over the Memorial Day weekend.
Two of the three doors were defaced with gray paint.
Investigators believe the vandalism happened sometime between 2 p.m. Monday and early Tuesday.
"This is a destructive act, and will not be tolerated," Mill Valley Mayor John McCauley told the Marin Independent Journal. "We stand in solidarity with the artists and community members in unequivocally denouncing this act of vandalism."
The artist, Zoe Fry, told the paper this is not the first time racial justice artwork has been defaced in the city. "The words were targeted," she said. "They didn't just throw paint on it…It feels like a hate crime."
She filed a police report early Tuesday after students reported the incident.
Anyone with information is asked to call 314-389-4100.
