SUMMARY:Extended Studio Exhibition Hours - Low Rise\, Mid Rise\, High Rise: Housing in L.A. Today
DESCRIPTION:Free\nDue to the overwhelming response\, the Low Rise\, Mid Rise\, High Rise: Housing in L.A. Today\, an in-person pop-up exhibition of residential buildings in the pipeline taking place at the Helms Design Center will remain open through the month of July. \nWHEN:  \nOpen Studio Hours: \nFriday\, July 9th from 12:00 to 2:00 PM\nThursday\, July 15th from 1:00 to 4:00 PM\nFriday\, July 16th from 1:00 to 4:00 PM\nThursday\, July 22nd from 1:00 to 4:00 PM\nFriday\, July 23rd from 1:00 to 4:00 PM\nFriday\, July 30th 1:00 to 4:00 PM (Closing Day) \nWhile life slowed down for many Angelenos\, the L.A. cityscape did not stay still. For the past year\, architects and builders have been busy\, working on designs to address L.A.’s biggest need: Housing. And they are doing so in multi-unit buildings\, at multiple scales\, that advance the idea of home. \n30+ design teams will display Low Rise dwellings from ADUs to four-story multifamily dwellings; Mid Rise affordable and market rate housing on transit corridors; High Rise towers for downtown\, Hollywood and the Miracle Mile.  The show is presented by Helms Bakery District in partnership with Cal Poly\, San Luis Obispo LA Metro Program. It is organized by Frances Anderton and Stephen Phillips (Director\, Cal Poly LA Metro). \nWHAT: \nMuch of the public dialogue around housing in Los Angeles today has to do with the politics around it\, and the crisis of homelessness. But while these debates continue\, housing is being built\, in a patchwork of starkly different scales and styles. It is shaped in part by zoning\, code\, and parking requirements\, costly land\, construction and materials\, as well as competing development and neighborhood pressures. Yet despite this web of constraints\, designers are building on the tradition of innovative SoCal living. \nAt Low Rise\, Mid Rise\, High Rise: Housing in L.A. Today visitors will see dense\, high\, multi-unit housing with apartments filled with natural light\, flowing space and a taste of the outside. Projects will demonstrate planning for sociability\, as well as new material and structural solutions to housing affordability. They will show how new developments can still express the distinct and eclectic Los Angeles character. Finally\, visitors will see how the pandemic may have altered planning priorities in the homes of tomorrow. The exhibition will feature models and renderings of projects in design or under construction. Displayed alongside these real-world schemes will be an exhibition of designs by Cal Poly LA Metro students. \nThe pop-up explores what these buildings say about how we live in Los Angeles today. \nWHERE: Studio A\, Helms Design Center at Helms Bakery District\, 8745 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City\, 90232. \nCOVID RESTRICTIONS: To comply with State and County guidelines for public gatherings\, please provide proof of Covid-19 vaccination(s) or mandatory masks will be required upon entry. \nBIG THANKS to the participating architects and designers:\nBaumgartner + Uriu; Bestor Architecture; Brooks +Scarpa Architects & Plant Prefab; Bureau Spectacular; Byben; City Design Studio; Clive Wilkinson Architects; Connect Homes; Design\, Bitches; Egan / Simon Architecture; Eric Owen Moss Architects; Gensler; Keating Architecture; kdA Kevin Daly Architects; KFA Architecture; Koning Eizenberg; Lance Collins (Partner Energy); LA Más; Lehrer Architects; Lorcan O’Herlihy (LOHA); Michael Anderson (Anderson-Barker); Michael W.

SUMMARY:Book Signing + Talk with April Greiman
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Thursday\, July 8th from 6:30 to 8:30 PM\, please join us for a conversation with April Greiman on the launch of her latest book\, WhiteSpace: April Greiman Photography\, an arresting collection of 34 digital photographs and short writings by 25 women in design\, art\, architecture and poetry\, on the abstract subject of whitespace. “WhiteSpace is like a trip to the desert with April and her wonderful colleagues. A master class in shadow and light\,” writes Laurie Haycock Makela in the foreword.  During the evening\, April will be joined by contributors to the book\, including Frances Anderton\, for a series of readings and insights into April’s use of bold color and negative space\, breaking boundaries in art\, design\, and architecture throughout her career. \nREGISTER HERE \nWith an international reputation in art and design spanning decades\, Greiman’s WhiteSpace is her first self-published book of photography\, and as a result\, is impeccably designed using a variety of papers and textures. This intimate book not only reveals her personal vision of space and light\, but highlights her deep friendships with creative women colleagues. Their extraordinary insights\, combined with Greiman’s sublime imagery\, create a rhythmic meditation on emptiness\, openness\, beauty\, fear\, and a multitude of provocative perceptions. \nWritten contributions by : Lita Albuquerque\, Frances Anderton\, Jan Angevine\, Marian Bantjes\, Lyn Bradford\, Judith Cahen Crouwel\, Donatella Cusmá\, Andrea Dietz\, Tibbie Dunbar\, Kristin Feireiss\, Karin Fong\, Carolien Glazenburg\, Nikki Gonnissen\, Jia Yi Gu\, Karin Hibma\, Gere Kavanaugh\, Suzanne Lacy\, Anette Lenz\, Laurie Haycock Makela\, Ilaria Mazzoleni\, Jennifer Morla\, Kali Nikitas\, Louise Paradis\, Paulette Singley\, Elisabeth Workman \nABOUT APRIL\nTransmedia designer April Greiman has pushed graphic design into new dimensions\, from the built environment to augmented reality (AR). Greiman’s designs are among the first digital graphics ever made\, and her innovative use of advanced digital technology has made her a leader in the design world. \nApril Greiman is a thinker\, designer\, and artist whose transmedia work addresses all areas and scales of design from communications to textiles\, architecture\, and new media. Greiman’s design studio Made in Space is a unique contributor to the design world that challenges interdisciplinary boundaries and investigates the intersection between art and design. Greiman’s publication\, ‘WhiteSpace’ includes her photography and important pieces of written work from 25 women contributors. \nGreiman is currently a tenured professor at University of Southern California (USC) Roski School of Art and Design. \n@aprilgreiman (instagram)

SUMMARY:Reading Materials\, A Book Club Hosted by Textile Arts
DESCRIPTION:Textile Arts | Los Angeles invites you to join READING MATERIALS\, a book club with an art and material focus. We will be reading books about the artist’s life\, about ways of seeing and reasons for making\, and about our inextricable relationship with material. The titles and conversations should appeal to all creatives\, regardless of medium. Offered in partnership with Studio203\, an art gallery / creative space in Mar Vista\, they will gather on Tuesdays at 7pm. Admission free for members; $40 for the public (for the year). Please consider purchasing your books from Arcana: Books on the Arts in Culver City\, or your favorite local indie shop\, or bookshop.org \nOn Tuesday August 17th from  7:00 – 8:30pm the book selection is CRAFT: AN AMERICAN HISTORY by Glen Adamson\nA groundbreaking and endlessly surprising history of how artisans created America\, from the nation’s origins to the present day. \nJOIN THE CLUB! \nAt the center of the United States’ economic and social development\, according to conventional wisdom\, are industry and technology-while craftspeople and handmade objects are relegated to a bygone past. Renowned historian Glenn Adamson turns that narrative on its head in this innovative account\, revealing makers’ central role in shaping America’s identity. Examine any phase of the nation’s struggle to define itself\, and artisans are there-from the silversmith Paul Revere and the revolutionary carpenters and blacksmiths who hurled tea into Boston Harbor\, to today’s “maker movement.” From Mother Jones to Rosie the Riveter. From Betsy Ross to Rosa Parks. From suffrage banners to the AIDS Quilt.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Crafting Bokjumeoni
DESCRIPTION:WE ARE SO SORRY! SADLY\, THIS EVENT IS CANCELLED AND WE HOPE TO RESCHEDULE IN THE FUTURE. \nTextile Arts | Los Angeles invites you to Crafting Bokjumeoni \nSaturday\, September 11th\, 2 – 4 pm at the Helms Design Center \nYou may have wondered about the small\, colorful bags you see in museums\, and carried by ladies wearing hanbok\, a traditional Korean garment. The bags are called bokjumeoni (복주머니)\, translated as a lucky pouch. \nHanbok is a colorful and elegant type of Korean formal clothing worn for special occasions. It is beautiful\, but lacks pockets\, which led to the creation of bokjumeoni\, a drawstring pouch. Bokjumeoni are made of the same material and colors as hanbok\, and they are believed to bring the holder good fortune. Today\, bokjumeoni are often used as a bag for small presents given to friends and loved ones. \nIn this workshop Dong Kyu will teach participants how to make their own bokjumeoni. We will provide all the necessary materials\, including colorful fabric pre-cut in the shape of the pouch. Participants will learn about the history of the bokjumeoni and its use in Korea from the past until the present day. Students will sew the pieces of fabric together to create a small drawstring pouch. \nNo experience is necessary\, although participants should be comfortable handling a needle and thread. \nClass fee $45 includes all materials. \nMORE INFO

SUMMARY:Meditative Block Printing with Dusty Guerra
DESCRIPTION:Textile Arts | Los Angeles invites you to Meditative Block Printing with Dusty Guerra
 \nSunday\, September 19th\, 10 am – 4 pm\, at the Helms Design Center \nIn this workshop\, participants will learn an alternative approach to relief printmaking utilizing a press-less printing method while discovering a repetitive process that will calm the mind and enrich a creative outlet. You will explore and develop your own motifs\, either from imagination or in reference to cultural narratives. Learn to work with alternative materials and techniques to design\, transfer\, carve\, register\, print\, and clean up. You will engage in a studio practice that will emphasize textile printing and pattern making. \nThere will be opportunity to explore and experiment as a way to develop a series of design networks. The motifs will first be test printed on cotton rag paper and once further developed\, the patterns may then be printed onto fabric (Participants are welcome to bring personal garments and pre-washed fabrics to be printed on). We will be using traditional printmaking inks and learn the basics of preparing ink and charging brayers for inking of the blocks — as well as how to efficiently clean up/conserve materials as a way to learn proper printmaking etiquette. \nDusty Guerra is a Xicano artist\, printmaker\, and educator based in Southern California. As a first generation artist\, Guerra explores family heritage and traditions to further investigate the origins of his Mexicanidad. Guerra’s art practice is managing the creation of a non-verbal\, spiritual language of symbols and motifs rooted in native belief systems and histories of migration. He holds a BFA in Traditional Printmaking and has been teaching printmaking to underserved communities in Los Angeles for the past 6 years. \nMORE INFO \n

SUMMARY:Will A New Generation Of Leaders Shake Up L.A.’S Culture?
DESCRIPTION:A Zócalo/Helms Bakery District Event\nModerated by Frances Anderton\, Architecture and Design Journalist \nOver the past year\, directors of cultural institutions across Los Angeles have announced their retirements\, which means a new generation of cultural leadership is upon us. But despite a desire for change that seems nearly universal\, new directors must still answer to many of the same funders and face the same pressures as their predecessors—to raise money or sell tickets\, to scale up\, to stay relevant—all while navigating post-pandemic reopenings and reckonings around race and inclusion. What does Los Angeles need from its new guard of cultural leaders? What obstacles do their institutions face\, and how can these new faces surmount them? Will all of the city’s culture centers even survive? \nCalifornia African American Museum Executive Director Cameron Shaw\, Inner City Arts president and CEO Shelby Williams-González\, and MAK Center for Art and Architecture director Jia Yi Gu visit Zócalo to discuss the change they plan to be and want to see in one of the world’s most vibrant cultural capitals. \nRSVP HERE

SUMMARY:Gallery Opening + Discussion with photographer Cynthia Alexandra and Jason E. C. Wright
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Thursday\, October 7th at 6:00 pm\, please join us for the opening of ‘ALCHEMY’ the first public exhibition of works from Los Angeles-based portrait and commercial photographer\, Cynthia Alexandra. The opening reception will feature a Q&A with the artist hosted by Jason E.C. Wright of Burntsienna Research Society. \nThe presentation is informed by a definition of ‘Divine Alchemy’ : “Divine alchemy is the art of transmutation\, the application of spiritual consciousness to physical form\, so profound that an entirely new form evolves. It is an irreversible change. A transformation that requires patience\, courage and a belief in the power of spirit above all else.” The exhibition features portraits of women who have transmuted challenges in their personal journey to empower others; they stand at various points of their own personal evolutions; some fully-formed\, others still in process\, but all firmly on the precipice of their next phase of embodiment. \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP AND SECURE A TICKET\nWith respect to public health\, the opening reception will proceed with limited space. All guests must register to attend. Masks will be required inside the gallery and throughout the event. If you do not have a mask\, we will provide one upon check-in. Thanks for your support! \nAbout the Artist\nCynthia Alexandra is a self-taught photographer based in Los Angeles. She has always found herself inspired by images that capture the essence of a subject; pulling the viewer in\, eliciting a visceral\, emotional connection to the moment and to the image. Her practice and approach find her doing the same; drawing as much inspiration from Hilma Af Klimt\, fashion editorials\, and surreal portraiture\, as she does from the subtle\, inherent magic in the people\, places and things around her. \nAbout the Facilitator\nJason E.C. Wright is Founder and Director at Burntsienna Research Society\, an Institute of Design Research and Critical Thought. After twenty years in the fashion retail industry\, Jason E.C. Wright shifted from consulting in operations and product development\, to quietly establishing Burntsienna Research Society.

SUMMARY:Art Walk & Roll Festival 2021 at Helms Bakery District
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, October 9th from 11 am to 6 pm\, Helms Bakery is excited to partner with the Culver City Arts District for their annual Culver City Art Walk and Roll Festival\, a self-guided tour and celebration of art\, culture\, mobility\, and our creative community. \nBegin at Helms Avenue where you and the kids will enjoy a “cardboard playground” created by our friends at reDiscover Center. Art and Design are at the core of our programming\, featuring artists Cynthia Alexandra\, Trine Churchill\, Stephanie Kerley Schwartz\, Yuliya Sigalova\, Textile Arts LA’s Tricksters & Transformations exhibition\, and a Biophilia poster competition installation from Poster Territory. \nThen stroll through the Arts District along Washington Boulevard to visit galleries\, enjoy live music\, grab a bite\, or stop at the mobility test area for e-bike\, scooter\, and board demos. \n\n \nCardboard Play \nJoin the crowd and build something great in reDiscover Center‘s Cardboard Playground on Helms Walk\, our pedestrian plaza on Helms Avenue. With piles of appliance boxes\, carpet tubes\, and rolls of fabric\, your imagination will go wild. Work with reDiscover’s Teaching Artists and our curated family-friendly cardboard tools to learn new construction techniques and make huge structures.\nHelms Walk\, 8800 Venice Boulevard\, Los Angeles\, CA 90034 \n\n \nArt + Nature \nCome celebrate art + nature during the opening of the International Biophilia Poster Exhibit\, exploring humanity’s relationship with the natural environment. 100 poster design finalists were selected from over 3500 global submissions. This exhibit is organized and sponsored by Brand Culture and PosterTerritory. www.biophilial.com\nWashington Corridor Gallery\, 8723 Washington Blvd. Culver City\, CA \n\n \nOn the Ropes \nOriginally conceived for the dream sequence of a theatrical play\, Stephanie Kerley-Schwartz continued the process of wrapping rope with silk fabric\, envisioning an evolving artwork that can be re-configured in multiple ways in any location. These same ropes have been stretched around boulders in a remote area of Yucca Valley and Stephanie has her eye on other locations — a fenced off-drainage ditch alongside the 10 freeway and a dry stream bed near Ojai. The ropes are making a quick stop at Helms Bakery’s Washington Corridor Gallery during Art Walk 2021.\nWashington Corridor Gallery\, 8723 Washington Blvd. Culver City\, CA \n\n \nAmazonia Delivered \nArtist Yuliya Sigalova’s Amazonia Delivered addresses the problem of deforestation and the excessive production of paper products used to maintain our lifestyles. Excess and careless waste\, exacerbated by skyrocketing product delivery during the pandemic\, contribute to the strain on our resources and animals. A structure built with Amazon boxes\, evoking an image of a tall rainforest tree stump\, with bark and roots made of void fill paper and other packing materials\, will include endangered species of animals and plants of the Amazon forest represented as cardboard and paper sculptures\, suggesting their metamorphosis into cardboard and an expression of the fragility of beauty and life traded for convenience.\nHelms Design Center\, 8745 Washington Blvd. Suite A\, Culver City\, CA \n\n \nArt + LA Family Housing \nPlease join Room & Board in support of LA Family Housing (LAFH) in an effort to help our homeless neighbors obtain permanent housing and a place to call home. When you purchase an artwork by the featured artist – this month is Trine Churchill – a 50% donation will be made on your behalf to continue the critical and life-saving services LAFH provides.\nRoom & Board\, 3231 Helms Avenue\, Los Angeles\, CA 90034 \n\n \nTricksters and Transformations \nTricksters & Transformation\, an exhibition in partnership with Textile Arts | Los Angeles\, is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate textiles and our community. Textiles have a universally demonstrated capacity for holding meaning\, establishing connections\, and creating healing. We’re delighted to invite you to share the work with us before the exhibit closes on Sunday\, October 10th. The exhibit runs concurrently with Artist in Residence Carmen Mardonéz.\nHelms Design Center\, 8745 Washington Blvd. Suite E\, Culver City \n\n \nPhotographic Alchemy \nPlease join us for ALCHEMY the first public exhibition of works from Los Angeles-based photographer\, Cynthia Alexandra.

SUMMARY:A Book Signing + Conversation with ArtCenter's Lorne Buchman and Frances Anderton
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Thursday\, October 28th from 6:30 – 8:30 pm\, please join us in welcoming Lorne M. Buchman to the Helms Design Center\, in conversation with Frances Anderton about his new book on creativity\, Make To Know: From spaces of uncertainty to creative discovery. \nMichelangelo is said to have seen “the angel in the stone” before he started chipping away at a mute block of marble. Most artists are not blessed with such creative clarity. Rather\, they discover their work – art\, design\, writing\, music – as they make it. \nIn his new book\, Make To Know\, Lorne M. Buchman\, president of ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena\, draws from interviews with artists\, entrepreneurs\, innovators and designers—Chris Kraus\, Frank Gehry\, Zack Snyder\, Aimee Bender\, Diana Thater\, and many others–to demonstrate that creativity is almost always a process\, not a lightbulb moment\, that creative geniuses are truly few\, and that everyone from students to professionals can “make to know” their own ability to create. \n​​“This is a book of stories of writers filling blank sheets of paper\, designers solving complex problems\, installation artists engaging space and materials\, and musicians and actors improvising composition and performance. It explores how artists talk about what the creative process itself might reveal\,” says Buchman. \nBuchman will share some of these stories with Frances Anderton\, longtime design journalist. He will also address how design education is meeting a moment of radical social change\, and what is next for himself and for ArtCenter College of Design\, following Buchman’s retirement in 2022. \nA book signing with Lorne Buchman will follow the talk.  Arcana: Books on the Arts will provide copies of the book for purchase during the event. \nWe ask all guests to provide proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test result within 48 hours of the event date during check in. Thanks for keeping everyone safe! \n \nAbout Lorne\nLorne M. Buchman is president of ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena\, California\, and an international leader in art and design education. He is also a theater director\, dramatic literature professor\, and the author of a book on filmic adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays. He hosts Change Lab: Conversations on Transformation and Creativity\, a podcast in which he conducts interviews with leading artists\, designers\, and cultural innovators. Buchman previously served on the faculty of University of California\, Berkeley. He left that position to become president of California College of the Arts and later Saybrook University. He holds a Ph.D. from Stanford University in Drama and Humanities.

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Architect-Filmmaker-Futurist Liam Young
DESCRIPTION:Free\nPlanet City — a Radical Solution to Climate Destruction \nOn Thursday\, November 4th from 7:00 to 8:30 pm\, Textile Arts | Los Angeles and Helms Bakery District invite you to hear Liam Young\, in conversation with Frances Anderton and Benjamin Bratton at the Helms Design Center. \nRSVP HERE\nForget carbon taxes and global commitments to use renewables. Climate change demands bigger solutions\, like moving all ten billion people on earth to one giant city\, leaving the rest of the world to return to the wild\, free from human predation. That’s the vision laid out by Liam Young\, architect-filmmaker-futurist\, in his new film and book\, Planet City\, showcasing a future world in which flora\, fauna and humankind coexist in the Anthropocene\, divided between an uber-megalopolis and a “new national park of the world.” \nYoung will talk about his visionary thought experiment — and the questions it poses about the environment and our place in it — with Frances Anderton\, design reporter and curator\, and Benjamin Bratton\, founder of the design research program The Terraforming\, Professor of Visual Arts at UC San Diego\, and contributor to the Planet City book. \nA meet and greet with Young and Bratton will follow the talk. \nPlanet City was commissioned by the National Gallery of Victoria for the NGV Triennial.

SUMMARY:Li Wen | Lessons from a Career of City-Building in Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Thursday\, November 18th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm\, AIA Los Angeles and Helms Bakery District invite you to hear Li Wen\, in conversation with Frances Anderton at the Helms Design Center. \nRSVP HERE\nLi Wen\, AIA\, is one of L.A.’s most insightful thinkers about the urban condition and our region. What can he impart to fellow designers and those interested in city-making\, as he leaves his position as design director and Principal at Gensler? \nWen will sit down with Frances Anderton to reflect on an architectural journey\, from a boutique office to the top of a corporate firm that has played a large role in shaping contemporary Los Angeles; and a personal journey from the hills of Santa Barbara to the Hollywood Hills\, via China\, Yale\, New York\, London\, and Paris. \nIn a wide-ranging conversation\, Wen will address the politics of land-use and making an impact as an architect; his thoughts for the future; and how he reconciles his love of driving with his passion for a dense urban life. \nLi will also share details of a design project he is still involved with: the master plan for the future of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. \nThe event will open with a reception. \nLet’s stay safe! We ask that all guests provide proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test result within 72 hours of the event at check-in.

 \n“87 Drawings by Ed Templeton” is the brand new\, beautifully produced survey from Nazraeli Press of the noted Huntington Beach-based artist\, photographer\, and skate eminence grise’s colorful works on paper from the past fifteen years.

These are accompanied by handwritten titles\, and a thought-provoking essay by Kim Hastreiter.

SUMMARY:Book Signing: Senon Williams: Words Don't Mean Much
DESCRIPTION:Free\nPlease join us for a book signing at Arcana: Books on the Arts \nSenon Williams: Words Don’t Mean Much\nSaturday\, January 29th\, 4:00 – 6:00 PM \nArcana: Books on the Arts | 8675 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City\, CA 90232 \nWe are delighted to invite you to a book signing celebrating Senon Williams’ new book\, Words Don’t Mean Much\, published by Hat & Beard Press. \nPlease come fully vaccinated\, wear your mask over your nose and mouth\, and maintain distance from others when possible! \nYou may pre-order a signed copy of the book to be picked up at the store or shipped to you after the event. PLEASE PLACE YOUR ORDER HERE! \nThe old adage “a picture is worth a thousand words” is turned on its side in Words Don’t Mean Much\, Senon Williams’ new book of aphoristic phrasing. Far fewer words are needed to create an illuminating image in the mind’s eye\, conjuring immediate multi-sensory experiences. \nThis book of poems is derived from the text in Williams’ ink on paper drawings\, a sampling of which are pictured at left. The drawings are textual extractions and gather momentum within the book\, exhibiting great attention to materials and craftsmanship. Every detail\, from select paper to classic typeface\, has been considered. An object\, not unlike a sculpture\, can be viewed from all sides\, handled – and leafed through in the case of this book – front to back\, back to front\, or randomly opened. Words Don’t Mean Much is a small pocket book\, easy to conceal. A book to keep all to yourself or share intimately. \nNative to Los Angeles\, Senon Williams is a lifelong visual artist and musician. His longtime study of economy with words and multiple meanings centers on the desire to create glimpses into the inherent human struggle\, both ancient and contemporary. Williams’ work finds space in the natural – exposing outstanding and devastating stages of human evolution.
