Presented by ICU Art - In Creative Unity
Co-Sponsored By:
The Chrysalis Project and Sol Foundation
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

7 Dudley Cinema
SPONTO GALLERY proudly presents JAZZ FUNK FEST on Saturday, June 2 at 7pm at 7 Dudley Ave, Venice, 310-306-7330, free admission. In the tradition of the Venice West Cafe (the legendary Beat hang-out which is now known as Sponto Gallery), local Venice musicians will celebrate the rebellious liberation of tuneful creativity.
At 7pm, the live improvisational collective known as BLACK SHOE POLISH genre-mashes Sun Ra's astral moods and the radical poetry of Theresa Hulme & Rex Butters. Gerry Fialka plays the notes between the cracks, evoking The Shaggs babysitting Question Mark & The Mysterians at Cecil Taylor's dancehall. Fiery enchantress wordpainters infuse righteous rascality into metaphysical mirth.
