LOS ANGELES, CA – Dozens of Inglewood artists will open their studios to the public the weekend of November 13-14, 2010 from 1:00pm to 6:00pm during the fourth annual Inglewood Open Studios tour. The event, hosted by Inglewood artists and nonprofit Inglewood Cultural Arts (ICA), will allow visitors to personally tour the studios of established and emerging artists working in drawing, painting, sculpture, mixed-media, photography, installation, and performance. In addition to the tour, Inglewood Open Studios also features a group show, which includes work by all participating tour artists, at the gallery within the brand new Beacon Arts Building from Saturday, November 13 through Saturday, November 27, 2010. In addition to providing the gallery space for the Inglewood Open Studios group show, Beacon Arts will also sponsor an opening reception for the exhibit on November 13, 7:00-10:00pm. Gallery hours for the group show are Tuesday to Saturday 1:00pm to 6:00pm. Beacon Arts (http://www.beaconartsbuilding.com / 310-621-5416) is located at 808 N. La Brea Ave., Inglewood, CA 90302.
Convenient free shuttle bus service, that will run in a continuous loop, will be provided to the public on both Open Studios tour days. Busses will leave Beacon Arts every 15 minutes, stopping at each studio along the route. Bus service will start at 1:00pm with the last shuttle trip departing Beacon Arts at 5:30pm. Printed maps with Open Studios location details are available online and will be available at each artist's studio and at Beacon Arts on both tour days.
Inglewood Open Studios artist involvement has more than doubled from 17 artists last year to 38 artists currently. Participants include self-taught artists, art educators, and a significant number of graduates from nearby Otis College of Art and Design. The following is an alphabetical list of participating artists in the 2010 Inglewood Open Studios tour:
Elliot Agnew, Alex Becerra, Kavin Buck, Ericka Chapman, Anne Cheek La Rose, Claire Cregan, Noelle Cross, W. Don Flores, Edward Ewell, Renée A. Fox, Todd Gray, Paul Harrie, Ken Hurbert, Michelle Johnson, Andrew Karl, Sharon Levy, Michael Massenburg, Elizabeth Mauceli, Gale McCall, Chris Mercier, Julia Montgomery, Kenneth Ober, Kour Pour, Kaitlynn Redell, Joan Robey, Kyungmi Shin, Dustin Shuler, Stanley Smith, Johnathan Stofenmacher, Cindy Suriyani, Holly Tempo, Corey Thering, Albert Valdez, Ginger Van Hook, Luke Van Hook, MonaLisa Whitaker, Joey Wolf
This year's Inglewood Open Studios is dedicated to the much-beloved, long-time Inglewood artist Dustin Shuler, who died earlier this year. He was well-known internationally for his large-scale, vehicle-based public installations such as "Spindle" and "Pinned Butterfly." Shuler participated in both the 2008 and 2009 Inglewood Open Studios tours and, thanks to his wife Karen Zindler-Shuler, his studio will again be open on the tour this year.
The 2010 Inglewood Open Studios is hosted by the artists of Inglewood and non-profit ICA, Inglewood Cultural Arts. ICA is a multidisciplinary nonprofit arts organization serving residents of Inglewood and its surrounding communities. ICA's mission is to enhance the quality of life in the community by providing diverse cultural arts programs.www.inglewoodculturalarts.org

Hi Everyone,
If any of you are really interested, or even slightly interested in transferring to Otis, then you should check out this event. A lot of really good artists that I went to school with, are participating in this event. Along with one of my favorite teachers, Holly Tempo, she teaches painting. Out of the people I know from this list, there will be a lot of great paintings, sculptures, and mixed media pieces, all well worth seeing. So go check it out! Dawn, (one of your Vice Presidents)

Glow
A Single Night of Neon Installations on the Beach
Glow, a biannual event held at the Santa Monica pier, returned the night of September 25th 2010 for a display of artwork from artists across the world. This year, distinctive from 2008 in terms of art, focused on over-sized installations as the main attractions. Over a stretch of about a mile, with the pier as its epicenter, part of the experience was the journey between installations and the “glow” of each attraction acting as your map to discovery.
As a free event in such an area as Santa Monica, it’s no surprise this event attracted hundreds of thousands of people. I actually love being in crowded areas, but this was a little over the top for what Glow had to offer. To my exploration, I only came across seven installations. This time there was no art on or under the pier, and everything was spread apart along the coast. Of course, the separation made sense to prevent the glow of each piece from interfering with each other, and it kept the masses from clustering in single areas, but within this fairly vast stretch of land the art to people ration seemed a bit disappointing.
The art itself was generally conceptual and asked for some kind of physical response, whereas 2008 had offered artwork more for aesthetic viewing purposes. One of the installations was a huge neon setup of monkey bar/pull-up rings that anyone who so desired could play on, with a DJ spinning MGMT and other dance-y indiepop and techno songs contiguous to the jungle gym installation. Another piece was equally interactive as it requested karaoke volunteers and projected the singers face into the sky as an orb of light, which looked like an obscure moon from a distance. It was unique, and quite comedic for obvious reasons, and could be fully witnessed from the neighboring neon maze installation. My favorite piece, though, was a dance floor sized projection on the sand of light reflections, controlled from podiums by opposite ends of the projection. Anyone could approach the podiums, and by hovering objects (or body parts, as so many were inclined) over the light filled podium it would reflect an enlarged copy onto the sand. Unfortunately this “dance floor” had no musical accompaniment. But it was an interesting area to mingle and socialize with other art-appreciators and party-goers.
Which leads to my conclusion; although Glow had an interesting hand in the art scene, its overwhelming volume of attendees and the fact that it went until 3AM transformed the atmosphere more into a party scene than anything else. Regardless, it was a good time. Just remember to keep warm from that ocean breeze and wear beach appropriate shoes!
Thanks for reading!

Culver City Art District (CCAD)
For those of you who don’t know, Culver City has a thriving art district on Washington between Helms and the 10 freeway, and La Cienega between Fairfax and Venice. CCAD has frequent opening receptions to attend, depending on each gallery’s schedule of shows, and an annual artwalk that happens over the summer. (http://www.ccgalleryguide.com/)
I was lucky to be in CCAD on the evening of September 25th 2010, when at least half of the galleries concurrently had openings. I won’t say I loved all the art in all of the galleries that night, but I was indeed amazed with a great deal of what I saw! It was an inspiring evening spent floating down an urban river of creativity, weaving in and out of show after show and through the dazzling crowds of like-minded art lovers.
Consisting of twenty-seven galleries, the range of artistic styles and mediums receptively run the gamut; there is a lot to see and a little something for everyone. Also, for those of you who wish to network with successful artists this is definitely a place to check out. Many well-established contemporary artists show in these galleries and are certain to attend their openings. As an aspiring artist myself, I recommend anyone in pursuit of inspiration and encouragement from the contemporary art world to scope out Culver City’s impressive art district.
Until next blog!
