This
fun day
featured music and dance from around
the world on two stages, alot of stuff for kids to do, food booths and
alot of eco info booths on how to help to create a more sustainable
WORLD. I had an artist booth featuring the SOS series in the
International Marketplace which featured mostly vendors with items from
around the world and local jewelry craftspeople. Attendance to the
festival was huge and I was very pleased with reactions of people,
especially kids who really seem to get into it. The day gave me alot of
food for thought and also showed me a bigger picture of where the
series could go. I had created another 100 new small pieces for this
show.

Downtown
Cindy by Douglas Turner. another booth
artist (cool work!) at LA Art Fest
Way
cool three day
fest produced by the wonderful
Julie Rico. My artist booth on Saturday and Sunday was right at the
corner of Traction and Rose. I didn't have any display racks so I just
brought the small pieces and a few crosses to show them off and layed
them on the street and on file boxes. LOL. It looked like a yard sale.
Got to meet alot of creative artists which added to the fun weekend
There's an electric energy Downtown that I find really inspirational.
The crowd was nice and seem to get the art. One of the sales I made was
4 pieces to the set decorater for the new show "The Comeback" starring
Lisa Kudrow who said they would install them on the set.
YEA!
Besides
artist booths this festival also featured art installations, an art
gallery, food vendors, a music stage and lots of performance artists.
