I'm looking forward to finding the time to contribute. Unfortunately because of our health issues and my so many job commitments, I've not been able to find the time to write. I'd love to write about the so many events happening right now, but not time. Just to mention a few:
1. We were able to hep secure $750,000 funding from Council to a City-Wide Mural Program (this took innumerable meetings, lobbying, phone calls, & emails and it's not as good as we had hoped).
2. MOLAA changed its politics about excluding Latinos born in LA in their exhibitions. Now MOLAA will exhibit artworks by Latinos born in L.A., something I've been proposing to the Museum since its creation in 1996.
3. Join Council President Herb Wesson, Jr., Councilmember Tom LaBonge, Councilmember Curren D. Price, Jr., and the Los Angeles City Council in partnership with The Wende Museum in celebration of Nelson Mandela Day in the City of Los Angeles for the unveiling of renowned muralist, Kent Twitchell's portrait of Nelson Mandela on the Berlin Wall Monument. Special performance by the Inner City Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles. When: 9:30am, Friday, July 18, 2014. Where: Berlin Wall Monument (5900 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA)."
I'm looking forward to seeing you all today!
