Camelot! Brigadoon! Shangri-la! Northeast LA! Places
loved once, lost sight of for a spell, then miraculously re-discovered! The
first three are challenging, but on Sunday, November 23, the artists’ homes and
studios of the mysterious Northeast, artist colony for over a century, will be
revealed at the Arroyo Arts Collective’s “Re-Discovery Tour” – the 16th
annual self-guided auto tour of artists’ homes and studios in Highland Park,
Eagle Rock and Mount Washington. The Arroyo Arts Collective, a grassroots
community arts organization in Northeast Los Angeles invites the world to
discover the art in the heart of Northeast L.A. Sixteen years ago 50 artists
opened their studios - this year the roster tops 140 - old favorites side by
side with fresh finds, featuring painting, sculpture, ceramics, collage,
computer graphics, photography, letterpress, printmaking, fiber arts and spray
can art., something for everyone (in a good way). This is an opportunity to
engage with the artists, and view their homes and studios firsthand! For the
first time this year, several Franklin High School students, some of whose work
was supported by previous Tour proceeds, will also appear on the Tour.
Tour tickets can be purchased in advance ($10) online at
www.ArroyoArtsCollective.org
and at Galco’s Old World Grocery, 5702 York Boulevard, Highland Park. Tickets
the day of the tour ($15) will be available at the Charles Lummis Home located
at 200 E. Avenue 43 in Highland Park beginning at 9:30 a.m. Tour ticket holders
will receive a comprehensive map of artists’ studios and homes; studios and
homes will be open between 10 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
A preview party showcasing Tour artists and their work
will be held in conjunction with NELAart Second Saturday Gallery Night on
Saturday, November 8 at Future Studio, 5558 North Figueroa Street, Highland
Park. Artist images and links will
also be posted at www.ArroyoArtsCollective.org
prior to the Tour.
