AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE to our visitors, readers, clients and associates from the Boss of Cultural Events in Los Angeles: We are here (on and off line) for a number of years during which we've earned not only the perfect search engine ranking but also a reputation for integrity and impeccable customer service. As you've surely noticed however Cultural Events in L.A. Website as well as some of our offline outlets have been neglected recently. I - the boss of Cultural Events in Los Angeles - am contending with a life-threatening health crisis: an appendix' burst, to be specific. Since September 18th I endured several operations, survived the intensive care unit and obviously, an extended hospital stay. Provided there are no additional setbacks, I ought to be able to rejoin the living within the next few weeks. Cultural Events in L.A. Website, as well as all other branches of our organization on and off line, should be restored to their original glory during the month of November. In the meantime, all and any issues that might have been adversely affected by my illness will be resolved to our clients' satisfaction. I personally appreciate your support and understanding. |

IRON AND IRONY: BADGES CAST DUBIOUS LIGHT ON AUTHORITY
Over 30 Jeweled Artworks to be auctioned or ACLU of So Cal on September 27th
The Private Eye, a noir-inspired art event hosted by Olivia Wilde and Tarryn Teresa, LLC will take place on Saturday, September 27, 2008 from 7:00 – 11:00 pm at the Industrial Street Art Studios in the downtown arts district. The Private Eye will feature “Under Color of Authority,” a sardonic fine art series of 34 original hand-sculptured badge designs and a fascinating pin produced by Griffin Moss the collaborative pseudonym of Venice-based artists Ron Griffin and Bryan Moss. Two of the artworks will also be available in a limited edition series. The surrealist series demonstrates the relationship between art and crime and was motivated by the history of police misconduct and corruption in Los Angeles. Griffin Moss utilized precious metals and fine gems to symbolize the underlying theme of authority and excess. The event will feature live and silent auctions of the entire Griffin Moss original badge series and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California (ACLU/SC).

L.A. Scene Monthly (formerly Cultural Events in Los Angeles Magazine) is the ONLY periodical dedicated exclusively to culture in L.A. area. The Magazine's Editor has recently asked "Should there be a periodical focused solely on culture in L.A.?" These are some of the answers: |
|
"Absolutely, at least one! There is plenty of culture here to write about." Ed Asner
"I think so: yes! The Entertainment Capital of the World deserves it." Dick Van Patten
Los Angeles has such an impact on culture it should have a magazine devoted to culture! The motion picture industry and television industry thus far, through their public relations departments, have failed to join forces with other arts. As far as culture is concerned, if we don’t re-establish the importance of culture in this country we won’t deserve to be as prosperous as we are and hold a leadership position in the world. Carol Channing
"My instinct says that there shouldn’t be JUST ONE (periodical dedicated exclusively to culture). I think there certainly should be more than one because that is a very good topic and it’s something that the public is interested in. But there certainly should be AT LEAST ONE! Dorian Harewood
"Oh sure, absolutely. There is plenty of culture here in Los Angeles, you just got to go look for it. (From the Editor: ...OR subscribe Cultural Events in Los Angeles Magazine!) Culture was always important and is even more important now." Steve Kanaly |
