Presented by ICU Art - In Creative Unity

Throughout the day we will be discussing the New Rules and the Pilot Program which will be going into effect with this event. Come make your voice heard on the Mic.
The Walls are being threatened with removal unless tagging in the area is reduced and the area stays clean. Venice area residents have been complaining to the City of Los Angeles regarding tagging in the area. ICU Art has negotiated a Pilot Program with the City of Los Angeles in an effort to keep the walls up. We have developed this program as a six-month trial period to see if the program can succeed. The program is managed by ICU Art with the Graffiti Artist in mind. If the program is a success, there is the possibility of more yards in other parts of the city being opened. Please help make this program a success. Keep the walls alive.
Respect:
no alcoholic beverages
no illegal drugs
no dogs on weekends at the beach
no tagging in the neighborhood
must be 18 years old to use spray paint
help preserve this area for art
Summary of the New Rules
The area is being renamed the Venice Public Art Walls.
The walls will be open only on weekends and City holidays.
The walls will be closed on weekdays to painting. Enforced by LAPD.
All artists will need a permit to paint at any time.
Permits will be free, and will be issued on-site by ICU Art.
Strict LAPD enforcement of anti-vandalism laws in the Venice area.
Minors can paint with brushes and rollers only.
Large walls are for pieces only.
Last pieces up Sunday afternoon run all week.
Artist Info

"...the so-called "rebel without a pause" blazed a trail for the political humorists of our time, the
SAHL, who turns 80 this month, first took an irreverent stand on the cutting edge of American social and political humor with his legendary appearances at San Francisco's famed "hungry i" in the early 1950s. Refusing to slow down or soften his touch after nearly five decades of ruffling the feathers of the powerful and affluent and shaking a finger at their deeds, he was the first humorist on the cover of "Time" magazine and the first non-musician to win a Grammy Award. His comments today are as incisive as ever.
Artists and Activists!
Don't miss this opportunity to have your posters and your issues travel the world!
Start Soma Gallery is inviting artists from around the world to create political artwork for the third (and final!) installment of their PROPAGANDA art show.
In 2003, THE FIRST PROPAGANDA ART SHOW opened in San Francisco. In 2005, PROPAGANDA 2.0 opened in San Francisco and Los Angeles. In 2007, START SOMA will launch PROPAGANDA III, a political poster art show that will tour the world through 2008.
There will be no curation and absolutely NO censorship of any sort. Expressed political viewpoints, be they left, right, or center, will be displayed side-by- side, both online AND in the real world. We are currently accepting poster submissions from around the world.
THE PROPAGANDA III ONLINE GALLERY IS NOW LIVE - AND GROWING!
http://www.startsoma.com/propagandaIII.html
PROPAGANDA III will tour the globe through 2008, with dozens of one day art shows worldwide - the current schedule includes stops throughout north america, south america, australia, asia, europe, and the middle east.
NO art will be sold at any of the shows, although copies of the posters will be available for sale directly through the websites of participating artists. This is NOT a commercial art show, but rather a celebration of free speech + untrammeled freedom of expression.

Muralist Assistant Job with Art Mortimer
I will be starting a new mural in Covina, CA very soon and am looking for a person or persons to assist me. The mural is on the front of the Public Library and is about the history of the library and Covina. If you know of anyone who might be interested in working with me on this project, please pass this information along to them.
I make it very much a teaching situation, as well as a working one, where someone can learn a lot about the techniques and the process of creating a mural. I am looking for one or two people to work with me on the project on a part-time or full-time basis, preferably people with some art experience and a desire to learn about painting murals.
If you know anyone who might be interested, please pass this information along to them. You can also direct them to my website (see link below) to view examples of my previous work.
