Description	Description This is a photographic slide documenting the work of the Stellar Arts Collective on "The Power of the Sun," a large-scale stained glass installation that was displayed in the State of California office building at 455 Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco from 1979 until the artwork’s destruction in a protest in 1991. This slide is part of the collection of Richard William Evans, a Black, gay artist, community advocate, and participant in the “back-to-the-land” movement in Northern California who was a contributor to the Stellar Arts Collective. Evans's friends, in collaboration with Evans, digitized a portion of his slides before his death in 2023. This slide's title mirrors the digital file name created at the time of scanning, with surnames added in brackets by GLBTHS archivists when known.
