After spending the better part of a year on a local neighborhood council, issues regarding class, race, exceptionalism, and hypocrisy slapped me in the face. A group think based in paranoia, schemes, self-interest, with a lack for real social concerns and community well-being trumped all decision making processes. Does voting work? Only if you’re on the side of the insane. If I wanted your help, I’d ask for it. Worked out well for our indigenous and homeless, eh?

Featured Artist: Art and Art Deadlines

If you haven’t experienced Rachel Gibson‘s blog ( Art and Art Deadlines ) and free call for art service, you are missing a treat! No starving artists allowed! This is a food based blog that serves up all sorts of visual delights along with a $2 art contest and all the yummiest calls for art you could possibly want. Add to that the fact that she’s also a bang up artist herself –not to mention that she and her husband are a singer-song-writer duet. Did I mention her wicked good sense of humor? And that she’s a Haggus Society member? Well…. check it out!

Pink Buddha, Baby Heads and Other Surreal Delights

Lost in Highland Park

 

Where else but in North East Los Angeles will you find Dulcimer Barbies, a mythological creature named Pink Buddha (who cultivates baby-headed flowers) and Cucuy the wonder-bird?

 

In conjunction with the 18th Annual Arroyo Arts Collective Discovery Tour: North By Northeast, the home studio of the irreverent raconteur Terri Lloyd will be host to this mix of music, performance, visual art, student docents, and yes, bird.

 

The Dulcimer Barbies feature the airy yet grounded harmonies of Erin Rametta and Barbara Horosko-Nichols. This duet are singer/songwriters who share a love for Americana and Roots music, playing various instruments including dulcimer, guitar, violin and Peruvian percussion.

 

Barbara is also an accomplished fine artist whose work has been shown in galleries on the West Coast, New York, Montana and Alaska. Her paintings are in public and private collections with one as part of the permanent collection of MOMA, New York.

 

Monica Marsh is a female chauvanist who works in multi-media in which the visual reflects the mundane and feminine of everyday life. She is also an entrepreneur who creates alchemical mists and is a founding member of The Haggus Society.

 

Terri Lloyd takes great comfort in not fitting in. Is she a designer? A graphic artist? Fine artist? Or none of the above? It doesn’t matter to her. She has things to say and she says them, her way –in pink pajamas or with over-sized graphic statements that poke into the cracks of conventional wisdom. Terri is also a founding member of The Haggus Society.

 

Cucuy is perhaps the most well known bird in Highland Park. A very spoiled and precocious macaw, she has a lot to say and often blames Terri Lloyd for all the troubles in her world. When she’s not chewing on the furniture, she’s calling Petco and ordering toys.

 

Tickets for the tour may be purchased online at www.arroyoartscollective.org $10 pre order or $15 the day of the event at Lummis Home (200 E Avenue 43, Los Angeles 90031). The home studio of Terri Lloyd is an official shuttle stop along the Discovery Tour.
