While at Bardsdall Park for the Thai Cultural Festival, I picked up a Save the Date postcard for the upcoming Beyond Eden art opening and art fair.
Unique and innovative, contemporary art fairs offer photographers and artist a chance to become inspired, motivated and discuss different art styles with other art appreciators. Barnsdall Park, home to the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, is a great venue for artists of all backgrounds (I am in the recent Open Call 2009, closing next week) and is a stellar location overlooking all of Los Angeles. From the open fair hours, art show, kick off event and opening night gala, this promises to be a fantastic opportunity to see work showcased from various LA artists and galleries. Network, eat great food, photograph urban life and watch the sun set over the Hollywood sign, Griffith Observatory and Metro Los Angeles.

After reading well written articles about Farrah Fawcett and the high price of the celebrity spotlight to an eye opening piece about Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s failing as the mayor of Los Angeles as he makes himself ready to run for governor of California, I found a gem of a photo essay entitled “Sign Language“.
