We’re looking for artists who have pieces that celebrate saving the earth and environmentalism. Art can be items made from recycled things that would otherwise be in the landfill, themes of endangered animals or parks, themes of the need for community gardens, etc. Please know this will be hosted at a private residence silent auction and installation requests must very simple. Paintings, photography, ceramics and items less than 25 lbs preferred. Pieces need not be framed, but must be presentation-ready. Art will be selected on the merit of the piece and also thematic grouping with other entries. Multiple entries or group submissions encouraged.

Selected artists will receive recognition in Vox Femina LA’s concert program for “Cool Blue: Songs for a Green Earth” seen by over 200 music patrons at Zipper Hall on June 23rd and also as part of our garden party fundraiser on Sunday May 23rd.

so this morning, bright and early (and in between 2 storm fronts, what timing!), some members of VFLA went out to Arroyo Vista Elementary School in South Pasadena to sing for the students, staff and even some parents.  much fun was had by all as we sang a short set of songs selected from our upcoming holiday concert (buy tickets! the concert’s Saturday!). the students were very attentive even though it was freezing and we were outdoors…many sang along as we did our last two songs, We Wish You a Merry Christmas and Jingle Bells.

thanks to everyone who participated, i think the kids had a good time!

posting some candids i took after the performance…

So, as part of our obligations to the grant we received from the Los Angeles County we are required to post our events on their experienceLA.com site. In doing so, I was reminded on how cool this site is! Unlike Goldstar, it is full of events produces by folks who are just like us - small, non-profit, LA community based, arts organizations. You know how you are always saying “This city is so rich with cultural happenings! I gotta get me out to some!” ? Well, maybe that was just me saying that, but this is a great way to keep informed of what’s going on. Also - our concert is posted here, and there are some cool features like “set a reminder” or “sent an invite” that makes letting your people know about our event easy. So thank you LA County Arts Council, for making us do something kinda smart!
