5:00 - 7:00pm
Malaga Cove Library
2400 Vía Campesina, Palos Verdes Estates, CA 90274
FREE EVENT! RSVP: ccotter@pvldfriends.org
One evening in early January, 34 artists gathered at La Venta Inn. After wine and hors d’oeuvres, they got up one-by-one to spin the Wheel of Fortune Cookies at the front of the room.
However, instead of the standard good omen, e.g., “Travel plans are afoot” or “Old friends will soon visit,” each artist discovered a title--the title of their future artwork. It was understood that the artists' next paintings would probably differ significantly from what they usually create.
Join us at one of the exhibitions of “Are You Thinking What I’m Thinking?" to see how artists respond to this galvanizing art challenge.

Groove with the fishies at the Aquarium of the Pacific. Join us in our effort to raise $1,000,000 for the Marine Mammal Care Center Los Angeles with a night of music, drinks, and sea creature experiences.
The Marine Mammal Care Center needs to raise $1 million before June 31st to keep its doors open and continue to save countless marine animals. If they do not reach their goal the Marine Mammal Care Center will be left to transfer their animals to out of area care facilities, leaving Los Angeles without a 24/7 rehabilitation center.
To help them achieve their goal, a multi-room benefit show featuring a large cast of all-star performers has been formed. All proceeds will go to the Marine Mammal Care Center Los Angeles.
Attendees will have access to all the exhibits all night including the jellyfish, stingray, and shark touch tanks. The venue can fit up to 3,000 people, so expect a packed house and great music all night long.
This event is 18+, with a no-host bar available to 21+.

Water & Wood 2019
CLOSING PARTY CANCELED :(
Saturday, February 16, 2019
Resin Gallery
618 Cypress Avenue
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
It is with sadness I share that the closing party for the Water & Wood show at Resin Gallery has been canceled due to zoning issues in the City of Hermosa Beach.
Below is a word from the head of the South Bay Collective, Rafael McMaster:
"We are currently placing our hopes and our future status at Cypress (Resin Gallery) with our City Leadership and Community Leaders to create zoning solutions that will support and honor what is organically growing at Cypress. Our current move is Stillness and Compliance. If you are as passionate about the Arts in South Bay as we are, then please watch this space closely over the next 6 months.
Rather than finger pointing, I’d encourage us all to hold the space for common sense and positive social uplift to prevail. If you are interested in getting involved - whether it be to write a letter, hold a sign, or advocate passionate discourse - then please email me at rafael@rafaelmcmaster.com."

EGO Fine Arts:
A Guy Walks Into a Bar
01/12/2015 - 01/23/2015
I was recently introduced to John Cantu, owner of EGO Fine Arts, and his very cool gallery down in Redondo Beach. The old warehouse is walking distance from the ocean, and on its walls are pieces of art from artists both local and international. The best way I can describe those whose work graces the walls is that they are a bunch of "cool cats"--individuals who dance to the beat of their own drum, and to whom creativity and art is truly a way of life.
Five of my paintings were displayed during the show. While I was out of town for the opening reception, I was happily around for the closing party, and a party it was! Everyone's friends attended, and we ate and drank and listened to an incedibly talented bassist and drummer as they jammed all night. Wild dancing ensued.
Thanks to my wonderful friends for stopping by! I'll see you at the next one.

CA-101 Group Exhibition
2014
My work was displayed alongside other tremendous artist from all over Callifornia. This year's CA-101 show was hosted at the Redondo Beach Pier Plaza, just mere footsteps away from the sparkling blue waves. Nestled between restaurants and gift shops, empty office buildings were renovated to become galleries. I had two pieces displayed: "First Journey" and "For Love of Honey." I was particularly excited to display "For Love of Honey" which is an installation of 300 life-sized brass bees swarming up the wall toward a canvas painted like honeycomb.
