The non-profit Eco-LogicalART Gallery located at 4829 West Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, 90019, will hold an event, this Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 7pm to celebrate its Eco Art Helps project, sponsored by the Vinyl Institute, which has over 80 participants from schools and arts organizations located across LA– from Venice, CA to downtown and including participation from students at LA High and other area schools.  The youth art project has the ultimate goal of getting a recycled billboard canvas into the hands of every Los Angeles public middle and high school child who wants one. End of the year plans include expanding the pilot exhibit to various neighborhoods across the city of Los Angeles.

Working with a theme of “The World That I See/World I Hope Could Be”, the art will be displayed on the gallery exterior April 24th, 2010 and revealed with a live curtain drop at 7pm. The event also features a gallery show of “green” themed art, live art demonstrations, workshops, music, and more. Contact eco-la@sbcglobal.net for more information.

Thanks to the Greater Wilshire NC for the following info…

Over the next 90 days, the Department of Transportation is posting new operating hours at parking meters.  These new operating hours were approved by the City Council in July 2008.  Since that time, the Department has been recalibrating and modernizing  parking meters, which now display the new operating hours on the “insert” inside the meters.  The next step in the process is to change the signs on the posts to agree with the hours displayed inside the meters.

The new operating hours are generally from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Saturday, except in areas where peak period parking restrictions are in effect, as well as in some entertainment and/or shopping areas.  If new postings are scheduled within a particular NC area, you will receive advance notice of the work.  Please feel free to forward the advance notice to your colleagues, businesses, and others in your community to help us better inform communities as regards DOT activities.

Parking Enforcement will begin enforcing the new operating hours a few days after the new signs are installed.

As a reminder, on Monday, April 6, 2009 there will be a hearing where you can voice your opinion concerning the Mid-town Crossing/CIM Signage District. The hearing is at City Hall, 200 N. Spring St., Room 1020, at 09:00 am. If you want to review the file contact Patricia Diefenderfer @ (213) 978-1179 or @ Patricia.Diefenderfer@lacity.org
The case number is CPC-2008-2614-SN.
