Letter from Emily:
Hello Everyone!
I am seeking your support for funding from the Venice Neighborhood Council
for our first 2 projects by the Venice Arts Council Endangered Art Fund.
The Endangered Art Fund mission is to restore and preserve existing public
art in Venice. Due to budget cuts from several years ago, maintenance for
public art all over LA is suffering from damage due to aging and a great
deal of defacing by graffiti. There are a number of public art works in
Venice that need attention as I¹m sure you are well aware.
We have selected 2 murals the JAYA MURAL 316 Venice Blvd. and the ENDANGERED
SPECIES MURAL 801 Ocean Front Walk by myself, Emily Winters. The reason
being that they have been so badly defaced by graffiti, and the JAYA MURAL
also has a lot of damage from de-lamination. The property owners where
these two murals are located have contacted me that if these murals do not
have the graffiti removed and the murals restored they will have to paint
them out. They do not want to do this, but graffiti breeds graffiti so they
have no recourse but to paint the walls a solid color for easier graffiti
removal.
Following the guidelines requested by the VNC and DONE, we have reached a
final stage for approval from the VNC Board, Tues., Oct. 17 at 7pm. We
received 3 bids and selected Nathan Zakheim & Associates, a recognized and
respected mural conservation group recommended by Cultural Affairs. They
have developed new processes that will restore and preserve murals for
decades with easy maintenance. Their bid was also the lowest. We need to
raise $88,000 for the 2 murals and we are asking the VNC for $20,000. This
money will go only to the materials and supplies.
I am asking you for your support by either writing a letter to the Venice
Arts Council or the Venice Neighborhood Council, or email me your letter,
and/or coming to the meeting, fill out a speaker card, and speak in favor of
this project. Showing community support at this time is critical for the
approval of this request.

Powerhouse Theatre
Written by the celebrated and eccentric cartoonist Angus Oblong, this dark comedy explores the hidden nooks and crannies of a haunted hotel and its spectral inhabitants. When a young couple checks in, the ghosts and ghouls do their best to provide a raucous and spine-tingling welcome. This "onstage cartoon" will be told in the signature Rogue style of hyper-theater and will include many puppets, projections, and digital media. Created and written by Angus Oblong with direction by Mark Valdez. Performances will be Thursday - Saturday, beginning October 20th through December 2nd.
When a young couple checks into a beautiful old hotel for a weekend getaway, the resident ghosts and ghouls do their best to provide a raucous and spine-tingling welcome. Celebrated and eccentric illustrator Angus Oblong (Adult Swim's The Oblongs) has created a living cartoon, and The Rogues, a collective of multi-disciplinary artists and designers, bring it gleefully to life with a mix of live actors, puppets and digital media in the Rogue's signature "hyper-theatrical" style.

From Mark Vallen's weblog: www.art-for-a-change.com/blog
An Unusual Day of the Dead Art Exhibit
Those expecting a quintessentially traditional Día de los Muertos exhibition are in for a few surprises. I say this because the show contains art of an international theme - with some works created by non-Chicano artists. Japanese American artist Clement Hanami is currently the Art Director of L.A.’s Japanese American National Museum, and a Commissioner on L.A.’s Cultural Affairs Commission. His mother is a hibakusha (atom bomb survivor), and his works often explore the topic of atomic war and its aftermath. Hanami will be presenting a special work at Ave 50 that commemorates those young people who died in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Some might be surprised at the inclusion of John Paul Thornton in a Day of the Dead exhibit, but after examining his Missing Children paintings, his participation seems almost obligatory. Over the years, Thornton has produced hundreds of expressionist oil paintings based upon the photos of missing children found on the flyers and mailers that end up in our mailboxes.
The full title of the Ave 50 exhibit is actually, Miccailhuitontli - Spirit of the Children. In Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, Miccailhuitontli (Meek-Hail-We-Tontly), or "Little Feast of the Dead" - was the name of the month the Aztecs devoted to the celebration of death and departed ancestors. The month was lorded over by Mictecacihuatl, the Goddess of Death and the Queen of the Underworld. The observances began with remembrances for departed children and ended with commemorations for deceased adults. After the Spanish conquest of 1519-1521, these Aztec traditions and rituals evolved into today’s modern Día de los Muertos celebrations.
The Opening Reception for Miccailhuitontli - Spirit of the Children, takes place on Saturday, October 14, 2006, from 7 to 11 pm. The exhibit will run until November 12th, 2006. Avenue 50 Studio is located in the Highland Park area of L.A., at 131 North Avenue 50, LA., CA 90042. Phone: (323) 258-1435 or visit the gallery website at, www.avenue50studio.com.

Among them are the access to affordable care, the commercialization of pharmaceuticals, the controversies surrounding recent advances in genetic research, and the dramatic shifts in disease demography.
