CollectLA is excited to announce our first art fair and we want YOU to be involved!!

CollectLA is a great new concept. Run by artists and for artists, it is a first rate art fair where approximately 350 independent artists will show and sell their work to the public en masse. We will rent the venue, market the show, publicize the artists, get the crowd, and set up the booths so that you can display your artwork in a hip setting, grow your mailing list, have opportunities for press coverage, connect with new collectors, sell some art, and make some money.

Guidelines and applications for the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) 2013-2014 Individual Artist Grants are now available on the DCA website (http://culturela.org/grants/index.html) and the Los Angeles Business Assistance Virtual Network (www.labavn.org). DCA offers grants to individual artists for community residencies and artist fellowships.

The CTG Student Ambassadors is a leadership development program for young people with a strong interest in theatre. CTG Student Ambassadors will work with other young leaders and theatre professionals to engage more young people in CTG and the LA theatre community. Gain experience, meet new friends, share your love of theatre and have fun!

We're looking for 30 people aged 13-23 with a strong interest in theatre. The program is free and no experience is required. Applications are due on September 24, 2012, and are now available at http://www.centertheatregroup.org/education/Emerging-Artists/CTG-Student....

For more information please visit us at the URL above or contact Dan Harper, Educational Programs Associate, at

Very soon the media, city officials, metro, and pretty much everyone else in Los Angeles will all be talking about one thing: Carmageddon II. Let's unite in response and offer Los Angeles residents an alternative view of what to do on Saturday, September 29 and Sunday, September 30... ARTMAGEDDON.

Running parallel to Carmageddon II, this two-day citywide celebration of the arts encourages Angelenos to stay out of their cars and, instead, walk-bike-metro to their local galleries, theaters, music venues, museums and more. Via www.ARTmageddonLA.com, we are telling your neighbors to experience your art.

Regards from Berlin,

It took two years to figure out exactly how to make him perfect, and I'm very satisfied with the finished product.
And yet, he's not perfect. In such a perfect way.

I needed to make a statement.
I needed a victim.
I needed to sum up the dichotomy of my philosophy.

During a long journey, it is often difficult to see progress.
But I have come far, though I have far to go.

This is my art.
This is Art Grotesque.
