Save the Date: January 6, Wini Brewer at Barbara’s the Brewery
It can put me in a weird place when asked to participate in a show as an artist or curatrix. A lot of the time, I feel it’s more about the asker, who hopes I’ll fall into the trap of shameless self-promotion and by extension give their project exposure, rather than it being about…
Save the Date: Saturday August 16, Painted Dot Show at I5 Gallery
The Brewery is community of artists who live and work together in one of the most inspiring–and the largest– art colonies in the world, right here in downtown Los Angeles.

XVALA introduces the “Bieberbot” at Art Is Shit Editions
XVALA is an artist ahead of his time. A free spirit who does what he wants to do, when he wants to do it. So, when he stole Justin Bieber’s trashcan and painted it silver to display at Art Is Shit Editions it might make you scratch your head at first, but then it becomes…
