La Jolla's Chase Bank branch is undergoing a remodeling, with a public art installation being covered with gray vinyl slats. The mural, “Art is Good for You” was painted by artist Michael Mercil in 2023 and was intended to remain for a few years. However, it has been covered up only when the slats were being placed over it.
