Inside Out Community Arts has received sponsorship to create a beautiful mural as a gift to the West Los Angeles community (Venice, Santa Monica, Mar Vista). The mural will be designed and created by a professional mural artist working with our middle school and high school youth from our programs over this summer 2012. If you have a good external wall for which you would be interested in receiving a mural, please email your contact information, including a brief description of your business, mission (if applicable), and location for the mural to efaulkner@insideoutca.org. Preference will be given to organizations serving disadvantaged communities.

Turps Art School – A New Initiative

Peter Ashton Jones and Marcus Harvey have long held the view that an artist led painting school could flourish in a climate where there is growing disquiet about the quality of painting tuition, inadequate tutorial input and rise in tuition fees on too many established fine art courses.

ANNUAL OPEN CALL
The Garbage Barge Revisited: Art from Dross
June 13 – September 1
Reception: July 29 from 1-4 pm
Curated by Karen Shaw, FF Alumn, Senior Curator

In 1987, Islip Town became infamous when a barge containing tons of commercial trash from the town was forced to sail along the Atlantic coast for 3 months in search of a landfill for the waste. As a result, Islip Town paved the way for the nation to reduce, reuse, and recycle.

This exhibition, our annual Open Call invites artists to consider alternate ways to repurpose cast-offs, which might otherwise be waste.

Open to all visual artists working in any medium.
