Art Storm in Silverlake

  Art Storm in Silverlake 
  Originally uploaded by notrivers.

Had a great weekend; my mom came to town from Kansas to visit.  One of the highlights occured at random.  As we were going down Sunset on the way to the CheeseStore of Silverlake to get some sandwiches for lunch, we stumbled upon "Art Storm".  In the little square of greenery along Sunset where the farmer’s market takes place on Saturdays, a group of 5-7 graffiti artists were decorating 25 canvases or so with wonderful colors and designs.  The event was created in order to raise awareness (and some funding) for an art park in LA that would function as a place for taggers and graffiti artists to safely and legally practice and create art.  It was great to watch the guys at work.  Molly and I even bought one of the paintings — from a kid with tagname of "War".  To see more pics from the show, check out more photos on Flickr.

Oh, and I got a tip to check out another show, called SoulSignificance, coming up on April 15.  Check out crewest.com’s gallery page for details.
