Join Us For A Screening of Public Trust on National Public Lands Day!
2020-09-26 07:00 - 23:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Online, CA
Free
On Saturday, September 26th beginning at 7:00 am and ending at 11:30 pm, please join us for a free screening of the film PUBLIC TRUST.
​​In a time of growing polarization, Americans still share something in common: 640 million acres of public land. Held in trust by the federal government for all citizens of the United States, these places are a stronghold against climate change, sacred to native people, home to wildlife and intrinsic to our national identity. But today, despite support from voters across the political spectrum, they face unprecedented threats from extractive industries and the politicians who support these endeavors. Part love letter, part political exposé, PUBLIC TRUST investigates how we arrived at this precarious moment through three heated conflicts—a national monument in the Utah desert, a proposed mine in the Boundary Waters and oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge—and makes a case for their continued protection.
Please register for your tickets to receive your log in information.
Wishing you all a Happy National Public Lands Day!

Today, they roam the tundra of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, in search of grasses, mosses and herbs in the permafrost.

Westside Urban Forum Hosts Virtual Panel Discussion - Accounting for COVID: Rescuing Our Municipal Budgets
2020-06-23 13:00 - 14:15 | Zoom, CA
On Tuesday, June 23 at 1:00 PM, please join Westside Urban Forum for a virtual panel discussion: Accounting for COVID: Rescuing Our Municipal Budgets.
Cities are facing an historic financial crisis alongside the COVID-19 health crisis, with the bread-and-butter sources of local revenue such as sales and hotel taxes having dried up virtually overnight, and only recently showing signs of a (partial) rebound. Wealthier municipalities modestly impacted by previous downturns, such as Santa Monica and Beverly Hills, are already cutting personnel and programs at an unprecedented scale.
The cumulative budget deficit from municipal and State tax revenues lost to COVID-19 is estimated to be as much as $950 billion across the country. Replicating the Great Recession playbook of budget-cutting and temporary revenue enhancements may not be enough to dig out this time around, and risks prolonging the length of a full economic recovery by several years.
This panel focuses on three urgent topics: (1) How much worse will it get, and what can we expect any recovery to look like (V, W, L, or checkmark-shaped)? (2) What strategies can local governments/public agencies use to address their widening budget holes and mitigate the fallout? and (3) can we count on the federal government to backfill City and State lost revenues through a CARES Act Phase 4 rescue package?
WUF is pleased to welcome LA City Controller Ron Galperin, Shavi Sarna, a financial advisor specializing in public-sector restructurings, and Jeff Kiernan, who manages regional support for legislation, regulations and ballot measures for the League of California Cities.
Panelists​
Ron Galperin, City Controller, City of Los Angeles,
Jeff Kiernan, Regional Public Affairs Manager, League of California Cities
Shavi Sarna, Senior Vice President, Ernst & Young, Restructuring Advisory Services

Westside Urban Forum Virtual Discussion: After the Pandemic, How L.A.'s Restaurants and Retail Will Heal
2020-06-10 14:00 - 15:15 | Zoom, CA
Free
On Wednesday, June 10th from 2:00 to 3:10 pm. please join Westside Urban Forum in a special, socially distanced series of online discussions: After the Pandemic, How L.A.’s Restaurants and Retail Will Heal.
Though the Los Angeles region is justly famous for its dining and shopping options, many stores and restaurants have been operating on thin margins in recent years. Stores have competed with online retailers, and restaurants have faced rising rents and increased costs. And then the Coronavirus pandemic.
The economic devastation to local businesses, many of which are cornerstones of L.A. civic life and local character, is evident already. How can these businesses recover? What combination of rent relief, government assistance, creativity, and civic spirit will ensure that they thrive? Will local planners have to rethink their approaches to “activating” ground floors, and will local cities need to rezone retail units to allow for more uses if incumbent businesses fail and are not replaced? How else might changes to commerce reshape our neighborhoods in the short and long term?
Panelists
Michael J. Berne, President, MJB Consulting
Deborah Kahen, Senior City Planner, City of Los Angeles
Josh Loeb, Owner, Rustic Canyon Group
Wally Marks, President, WNM Realty
Moderator
Zachary Tindall, Managing Director, Streetsense

Dana Cuff
Dana Cuff is Professor of Architecture and Urban Design at UCLA where she is also Director of cityLAB, an award-winning think tank that advances experimental urbanism and architecture. Since receiving her Ph.D. in Architecture from Berkeley, Cuff has published and lectured widely about spatial justice, the architectural profession, and affordable housing. She is author of several books, including The Provisional City about postwar housing in Los Angeles, and a co-authored book (in bookstores next year) documenting her innovative cross-disciplinary project at UCLA called the Urban Humanities Initiative, funded by the Mellon Foundation. Based on cityLAB’s design research, she co-authored a landmark bill that permits “backyard homes” on virtually all 8 million single-family properties in California (AB 2299, Bloom-2016), doubling the density of suburbs across the state. She and her team are currently working on a wide range of new forms of affordable housing to be co-located with schools. cityLAB recently initiated a satellite center in one underserved neighborhood of Los Angeles, where a deep, multi-year exchange with community organizations will demonstrate ways that humanistic design of the public realm can create more compassionate cities. Cuff was the recent recipient of two prestigious awards that describe her career: Women in Architecture Activist of the Year (2019, Architectural Record) and the international prize for Researcher of the Year (2019, Architectural Research Centers Consortium).

French 2D is Boston-based architecture studio founded by Jenny French (MArch Harvard GSD) and Anda French (MArch Princeton). Their intimate knowledge of Boston, where the sisters were born and raised, allows the close practice to be both deeply engaged and work critically with local issues of housing, public space, history and identity. French 2D works on housing and mixed-use projects with a focus on strange housing types that combine familiar ideas of home with radical organizations and typologies, found in their cohousing and micro-housing projects. The practice also works on civic installations and exhibitions that call upon the domestic to bring people together for familiar rituals in unfamiliar spaces, found in serial dinner-parties, fuzzy bartering environments, and out-scaled dresses.
Jenny and Anda’s interest in hybrid models that exist between practice and academia has been the catalyst for their practice-based research and advocacy. Jenny is an Assistant Professor in Practice at the Harvard GSD and Anda serves on the Board of Directors for the Boston Society of Architects, where the pair organized the recent Now Practice Now series, exploring emerging modes of practice.
French 2D was named as an Architectural Record Magazine Design Vanguard winner in 2019. The firm has been featured in Domus, Metropolis, The Architect’s Newspaper, and as Architect Magazine’s Next Progressives. French 2D was a 2013 MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program finalist and exhibited at the US Pavilion of the 13th Venice Architecture Biennale.

POSTPONED: Textile Arts Hosts a Conversation + Book Signing, Material and Mind with Christopher Bardt
2020-03-25 19:00 - 21:00 | Helms Design Center, 8745 Washington Boulevard, Culver City, CA, 90232
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO AN UNDETERMINED FUTURE DATE.
On Wednesday, March 25th from 7:30 to 9:00 pm (Doors at 7:00 pm), please join us in welcoming Textile Arts Los Angeles and Christopher Bardt, AIA for practiceLAB, a conversation and in-depth exploration of the interaction between mind and material world, mediated by language, image, and making—in design, the arts, culture, and science.
In Material and Mind, Christopher Bardt delves deeply into the interaction of mind and material world, mediated by language, image, and the process of making. He examines thought not as something “pure” and autonomous but as emerging from working with material, and he identifies this as the source of imagination and creative insight. This takes place as much in such disciplines as cognitive science, anthropology, and poetry as it does in the more obvious painting, sculpture, and design. In some fields, the medium of work is, in fact, the very medium of thinking—as fabric is for the tailor.
Drawing on the philosophical notions of the “extended mind” and the “enactive mind,” and looking beyond the world of material-based arts, Bardt investigates the realms in which material and mind interweave through metaphor, representation, projection, analogues, tools, and models.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Christopher Bardt has over 25 years of experience as an architect and professor of architecture at RISD. He is a founding principal of 3sixØ Architecture, which Architectural Record named one of 10 leading vanguard firms worldwide in 2002. His extensive professional experience includes furniture design, residential, commercial and institutional commissions and planning studies, ranging from small urban interventions to large-scale metropolitan development. Bardt has been a member of the Architecture faculty at RISD since 1988. He has been a visiting professor at Cornell University, the National Academy of Design and Art, Slovakia and the China Academy of Art and has served on the Board of Governors of the RISD Museum. Bardt holds a BArch from RISD and a MArch from Harvard University.

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO AN UNDETERMINED FUTURE DATE.
On Wednesday, March 18th from 7:30 to 9:00 am, please join us in welcoming Urban Land Institure for the ULI Los Angeles StimULI Breakfast discussion, From Urban Shopping Mall to Tech Campus: The Creative Office Conversion of Westside Pavilion.
As big-box retail centers decline, developers are finding creative ways to repurpose large blocks of space to accommodate a new era. In 2018, a joint venture between Macerich and Hudson Pacific Properties announced plans to redevelop the declining Westside Pavilion into creative office space. The following year, tech giant Google pre-leased the entirety of the office space totaling nearly 600,000 square feet, further expanding their Los Angeles footprint.
The panel will explore the first-of-its-kind conversion of urban mall to creative office, providing insights into innovative adaptive reuse strategies. Additional topics will include the expansion of tech and media industries in Los Angeles and the resulting economic impact to the region.

POSTPONED - Play! A Screen Print Weekend with Carrie Burckle, Inspired by Sarajo Frieden
2020-03-14 10:00 - 2020-03-15 16:00 | Helms Design Center, 8745 Washington Boulevard, Culver City, CA, 90232
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO AN UNDETERMINED FUTURE DATE.
On Saturday and Sunday, March 14th and 15th from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, please join us in hosting Textile Arts LA’s Carrie Burckle for a weekend-long screen printing workshop where you’ll explore chance and improvisation as playful strategies incorporating collage, stamping, cut outs, and painting for designing prints.
You will discover relationships in line, shape and color as your shapes and patterns unfold, meander and snake back in on themselves, creating new relationships and connections. You may explore mono prints, cutout shapes, appliqué ideas, and more. Sister Corita Kent says, “Consider/regard everything an experiment”. And “Nothing is a mistake”.
The weekend will be an immersion in play, in freeing up blocked energy and exploring intuition and improvisational strategies. Students will create stencils for mono printing and over printing onto any cloth scraps, up cycled clothes, misshapen cuts, for use singularly or for extended quilts, patchwork, appliqué etc. There are no preconceived outcomes, only potential for further investigations. One exercise will include a print exchange, where each student will receive a print from each of the other students, creating an overprinted, collage piece.
FOR TICKETS
Wear comfortable clothing, shoes, and an apron. You will be standing on a concrete floor when printing. Comfortable shoes are a must.
*We will take a lunch break: students are welcome to step outside for a quick walk to The Co-Op Market / Deli or one of the restaurants in the Helms Complex, or bring your own lunch.
This class is intended for fine artists, designers, painters, printmakers, surface designers and general enthusiasts. Class size limited to 10. Students of all levels welcome.
MATERIALS PROVIDED FOR USE: Small handheld screens, inks, squeegees/spreaders, plastic sheet stencils, several cotton fabrics, including the fabric intended for the shared overprinting exercise. We encourage you to bring your own pre-laundered natural fiber fabrics, patches, off cuts or clothing, as this practice lends itself well to piece work / collage. Printing tables are 4ft x 8ft, with some of the 8 ft length used for material prep. $25 material fee payable to instructor at the class, please!
Carrie Burckle is an artist, designer, and educator. She has a BFA in Textile Design, as well as an MFA in Fibers from CSULB, where she has taught for the past 17 years. She is also a co-founder of Textile Arts LA.
