Venice Art Walls - funding in Jeopardy

Program Funding May be Cut July 1, 2008

The Venice Art Walls Program is in jeopardy of ending as soon as July 1, 2008 due to potential funding cuts by the City of Los Angeles. The program is currently funded in equal parts by ICU Art and funds secured by Councilmember Bill Rosendahl’s (CD11) Office. We have been informed that, due to the pending City of LA Budget crises, we may not be receiving any funds from the City beyond June 1, 2008. Although we appreciate the funding that has been given to the program so far, we feel it is the City’s responsibility to continue funding this important program. You can encourage Council Office 11 to continue funding for the program by sending emails to Arturo.Pina@lacity.org. You can encourage the Department of Recreation and Parks to fund the program by sending e-mails to the General Manager of the department at Jon.Mukri@lacity.org. Without a program in place to manage the area, the walls are in jeopardy of being removed.

The Night Before The 4th - A Patriotic Preparation with LESLIE PERRY, LINDA POLLACK, ROSS ALTMAN, SUSAN GRIFFIN, and CODE PINK
Why does patriotism have to be the refuge of scoundrels? We suggest some patriotic alternatives. LESLIE PERRY is a modern day griot and will reprise his one person show, "Frederick Douglass Speaks.” LINDA POLLACK will perform from her “My Daily Constitution,” an ongoing project of art and educational interventions across the country. She recently curated “Patriot Acts” at Highways. ROSS ALTMAN writes for the L.A. folk music magazine FolkWorks and just released his 12th album, High Crimes and Misdemeanors (Grey Goose). SUSAN GRIFFIN is a recipient of the MacArthur Grant for Peace and International Cooperation. Her books include A Chorus of Stones, Bending Home: Poems Selected and New and, as co-editor, the forthcoming Transforming Terror: Remembering the Soul of the World. She'll read from her new book Wrestling with the Angel of Democracy: On Being an American Citizen (Trumpeter/Random House). CODE PINK and JODIE EVANS, who have carried out patriotic actions across America for years, will present a skit “I Miss America” and readings from Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States.

Social Satirist Emily Levine Five Easy Steps to Metaphysical Fitness: They Actually Work!   Sat. Aug. 2, 8pm * Sun. Aug. 3, 4pm * Tu. Aug. 5, 8pm * $25 / $20 w/ RSVP by July 15   "Go see Emily Levine at the risk of blowing your mind, splitting your sides, and exiting a better person."  Norman Lear Hailed early in her career by Newsweek as "one of the new queens of comedy", the Harvard-educated, brainiac comedian has long mined the interface of science and society for comedic gold. Her first show, Five Easy Steps to Metaphysical Fitness, took her audience on a wild, hilarious ride through the paradigm shift: from Isaac Newton's rational, predictable law-and-orderly universe to the wildly improvisational universe of quantum physics, chaos theory and complexity theory.  Levine's trenchant social commentary made the connections between science and society both funny and real.  But no sooner had Levine begun turning the show into a movie than she went through her own paradigm shift.  A rare and long undiagnosed disease tossed her into a universe for which the words "wildly improvisational" are woefully inadequate. Thanks, however, to her own Five Easy Steps, Levine's alive to tell the tale. That's exactly what she's doing in her newly revamped show:  Five Easy Steps to Metaphysical Fitness: They Actually Work!   Steinway Hall @ Fields Pianos * 12121 W. Pico Bl. (1 door w. of Bundy * Level P2) * Park free! *  RSVP: Jeannine Frank @ (310) 471-3979 * Jeannine@FrankEntertainment.com
