Open gallery hours Saturday\, August 13 @ 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm \nWelcome Blanket is a platform for engagement that transforms the abstract concept of immigration into a tangible crowd-sourced artistic action. Handcraft makers are invited to make Welcome Blankets that include notecards with stories important to their families about immigration/migration/relocation to create symbolic and practical gifts of welcome for new refugees coming to the United States. These gifts are collected\, catalogued\, and displayed at art institutions and exhibitions. After each show’s close\, Welcome Blanket’s 30+ partner refugee resettlement groups present these tangible gifts of welcome to our newest neighbors. \nWelcome Blanket makes its inaugural Los Angeles exhibit at Helms Bakery District and will continue at Skirball Cultural Center and LAX airport. A national initiative in partnership with other museums and cultural institutions will continue in the years to follow. \nExhibition Dates\nAugust 4th through September 24th\nViewing Hours on Saturdays from 12:00 to 4:00 PM \n\nABOUT WELCOME BLANKET\nWoven into the fabric of our country is the fundamental idea that our diversity and individual freedoms\, together\, allow for our personal stories that collectively make the United States a great nation. The diverse migration stories are human stories; yet the abstraction of immigration\, from sweeping government policies to the use of language\, particularly by the media\, perpetuates “otherness\,” removing us from these human stories\, ones that we all have. Welcome Blanket is a platform for engagement that transforms this abstraction into a tangible\, crowd-sourced\, artistic action. Participants use their heads\, hearts\, hands\, and histories to craft the country they wish to see. \nWelcome Blanket was initially a response to the proposed 2000-mile border wall between Mexico and the United States. The project reimagined the 2000-mile length\, one of exclusion\, as 2000 miles of yarn to make individual welcome blankets for refugees coming to the United States. Handcraft makers who knit\, sew\, quilt\, crochet\, weave\, felt\, etc.\, use any textile to make 40 inch x 40 inch blankets that are easy to care for and hard to give away. They included stories important to their families about immigration\, migration\, or relocation\, creating symbolic and practical gifts of welcome for new refugees coming to the United States. These gifts are collected\, cataloged\, and displayed at art and cultural institutions. During these exhibits\, the message of welcome is amplified through hosting craft circles\, performances\, discussions\, forums\, and legal assistance for immigrants. Post-show\, our 30+ partner refugee resettlement groups present these tangible gifts of welcome to our newest neighbors. Over 6500 have been made and distributed. \nAfter reaching our initial goal of 2000 miles of yarn\, resulting in 3400 blankets\, the impact was clear. New immigrants felt the welcome; they felt seen as they were gifted these heartfelt\, handmade blankets–a symbol of home\, itself. And the makers reflected the diversity of this country: the youngest was 4 and the oldest 104; there were evangelical Christians\, Muslims\, Jews\, Buddhists; and there were makers from a wide range of political leanings. Many participants had diverse migration stories\, from being descendants of slaves to displaced Native Americans\, from recent refugees to descendants of the Mayflower. \nWelcome Blanket’s impact reflected a sense of inclusion and we set a new goal–to bring people together to develop a new American tradition of welcome. We aim to create an enduring project and build a community of connection\, a network that creates thresholds of welcome that is a public visual pronouncement and a private and tactile experience. We are building a tapestry of American migration history\, connecting the stories of past migrations with people coming to the United States right now\, and creating a space to discuss the complex issues around immigration with humanity. \nMake a Welcome Blanket\, share your story\, come together and craft. Join us.\nFor more information: welcomeblanket.org and @welcomeblanket \nInformation about additional Welcome Blanket events will be posted shortly.  \nPrevious Exhibitions\nMuseum of Design Atlanta (Atlanta\, GA)\nSmart Museum of Art (Chicago\, IL)\nFuller Craft Museum (Boston\, MA)\nBuild Peace Conference (San Diego and Tijuana)\nWelcome Blanket Brookline \nUpcoming Exhibitions\nSan Francisco International Airport (San Francisco\, CA)\nHeritage Winooski Mill Museum (Winooski\, VT)\nRevere History Museum (Revere\, MA) \n\nABOUT JAYNA\nJayna Zweiman is an architecturally-trained multidisciplinary artist and designer. Her independent practice combines architecture\, art\, craft\, and new media to focus on experiences that overlap physical\, virtual\, and conceptual spaces. \nPerhaps best known as the co-creator and co-founder of Pussyhat Project\, an international network and movement of women’s rights supporters\, Zweiman has become a leading advocate of utilizing design innovation to enact social change. Pussyhat Project became a worldwide phenomenon at the 2017 Women’s Marches with one of the largest crowd-sourced art advocacy projects ever. She is also the creator and founder of Welcome Blanket\, a reconceptualization of the 2000-mile length of the proposed border wall as 2000-mile length of yarn to make individual welcome blankets for new immigrants coming to the United States. \nZweiman’s work has been exhibited and published internationally. Her work has been nominated for the Beazley Design of the Year by the Design Museum in London\, has been acquired by the Victoria & Albert Museum\, and has been awarded the first ever Brand of the Year by the School of Visual Arts. Zweiman was awarded in 2017 as one of “The 25 People Who Defined Visual Culture” by Artsy.\nJayna earned her AB from Brown University with concentrations in visual arts and economics and her Master in Architecture from Harvard University Graduate School of Design. She lives and works in Los Angeles. \nSpecial thanks to Welcome Blanket sponsors: URL:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/event/welcome-blanket/2022-08-13/ LOCATION:Helms Design Center\, 8745 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City\, CA\, 90232 CATEGORIES:News ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1-AUG-13.png GEO:34.0286594;-118.3857496 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Helms Design Center 8745 Washington Boulevard Culver City CA 90232;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=8745 Washington Boulevard:geo:-118.3857496,34.0286594 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220807T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220807T140000 DTSTAMP:20260405T020912 CREATED:20220805T185924Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220805T190504Z UID:10000341-1659870000-1659880800@helmsdesigndistrict.com SUMMARY:Knitting and Crocheting Workshop with Welcome Blanket DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, August 7th from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM stop in at the Helms Design Center to join in the knitting and crocheting workshop with the Welcome Blanket team.

Alongside real estate\, aerospace\, and film\, the petroleum industry enabled the rapid growth and development of our region. To this day\, visitors to Los Angeles International Airport are greeted by the pumpjacks of the Baldwin Hills Oil Field\, with many others hidden behind illusory facades. \nOil and gas is no longer the regional economic megalith it once was\, but it has straddled Los Angeles with a harmful and unintended consequence: the nation’s largest urban oil field. There are 68 active oil fields in the Los Angeles Basin\, and more than 20\,000 active\, idle\, or abandoned oil wells scattered throughout our densely populated urban fabric\, many of them within close proximity of homes\, schools\, parks\, and other sensitive land uses. They pose acute risks to human and environmental health via air pollution as well as water and soil contamination\, and they disproportionately impact historically Black and Hispanic neighborhoods. \nAfter ten years of community organizing and advocacy by environmental justice groups\, including the STAND-L.A. coalition\, the City of Los Angeles and County of Los Angeles have committed to phasing out urban oil wells. While it is relatively easy to prevent new wells through land use action\, how to close\, cap\, and remediate the existing and abandoned wells – and how such efforts will be paid for – is a more complicated affair. Additionally\, there is the consideration of the jobs that will be displaced and what opportunities exist in a “Just Transition” to a clean energy economy. \nConfirmed Panelists: \nAlison Hahm\, Staff Attorney\, Communities for a Better Environment \nDavid McNeill\, Executive Officer\, Baldwin Hills Conservancy \nLaura Muraida\, Senior Deputy for Environmental Justice\, Office of Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell \nNicole Levin\, Beyond Dirty Fuels Campaign Representative\, Sierra Club \nSean Hecht (Moderator)\, Co-Executive Director\, UCLA Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment \nRegistration Fees\n$50 Members\n$65 Non-Members\n$10 Student Members\n$15 Student Non-Members \nPre-registration closes on Tuesday\, July 26th\, at 9:00 PM. After Tuesday\, July 26th\, onsite registration will be available at the cost of an additional $10. No refunds or credits will be provided after this day. \nPhoto Credit – Baldwin Hills Oil Field (Source: The Center for Land Use Interpretation\, licensed under an Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Creative Commons License) URL:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/event/extract-no-more-phasing-out-oil-drilling-in-greater-los-angeles/ LOCATION:Helms Design Center\, 8745 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City\, CA\, 90232 CATEGORIES:News ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/oilfield.jpg GEO:34.0286594;-118.3857496 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Helms Design Center 8745 Washington Boulevard Culver City CA 90232;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=8745 Washington Boulevard:geo:-118.3857496,34.0286594 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220618T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220618T170000 DTSTAMP:20260405T020912 CREATED:20220516T231417Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220616T233110Z UID:10000481-1655553600-1655571600@helmsdesigndistrict.com SUMMARY:Closing Day for the Exhibition In Harmony with Nature: The Architectural Work of James Hubbell DESCRIPTION:Helms Design Center\n8745 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City\nExhibition runs April 22 – June 18\, 2022\nViewing hours:  12 PM – 5 PM \nJames Hubbell is a painter\, sculptor and architectural designer who has spent 60 years designing and making buildings\, artifacts and fine artworks that reflect a deep passion for the ocean and for earth’s gifts. From Ilan Lael\, his self-made home\, workshops and foundation in Julian near San Diego\, Hubbell has created schools in concert with the community in Tijuana\, an organic chapel at Sea Ranch\, and parks that span the cultures of the Pacific Rim. \nHubbell’s vision is the antithesis of rational and industrial. “Most important is my infatuation with nature\,” he says. “There is also my love of the primitive and naive\, gothic architecture\, the arts and craft movement\, Frank Lloyd Wright\, Gaudi\, and the pleasure of working with the material of stone\, wood\, cement\, clay\, metal\, glass\, and mosaics.” \nNow Angelenos can see his architectural work shown for the first time in L.A. at an exhibition opening on Earth Day at Helms Bakery District in Culver City. The installation brings to life Ilan-Lael\, his Pacific Rim Park and schools in Tijuana\, his chapel at Sea Ranch as well as stunning doors\, windows and other decorative building elements including his extraordinary stained glass window for Findhorn\, the spiritual retreat in Scotland. \nAbove: The Sea Ranch Chapel by James Hubbell | Photo © Craig Tooley\, Ruffimage.com\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \nBoys' House\, Ilan-Lael\, Julian\, CA | Photo ©John Durant\n\n\nJames Hubbell | Photo ©Don Musial\n\n\nBoys' House Interior\, Ilan-Lael\, Julian\, CA | Photo ©John Durant\n\n\nJames Hubbell in his studio | Photo ©John Durant\n\n\nInterior of The Sea Ranch Chapel | Photo ©Craig Tooley\n\n\nJames Hubbell's Firebird | Photo ©Laurel Costa\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition - Art as Community | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition - Firebird Window | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition - Sea Ranch Chapel | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition - Sea Ranch Chapel | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nAll artwork is copyrighted work of the artists.

GOAL for "Mother Nature Survived It (and I Will Too)" DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, June 11th from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm\, please join L.A. GOAL in celebrating their show\, Mother Nature Survived It (and I Will Too). As part of L.A. GOAL’s mission to foster a more inclusive society\, there will also be artworks created by artists from the broader Los Angeles County community. A show by artists of all abilities! \nL.A. GOAL is a non-profit organization that partners with adults with developmental disabilities and their support networks to assist them in living more fulfilling lives. Many of the artworks featured in this exhibition were created by artists with developmental disabilities. These artists are employed by L.A. GOAL’s professional art studio\, Inside Out Productions. \nThis art exhibition aims to highlight the ways in which pandemic circumstances affect our relationship with nature and how that relationship affects our experience of healing\, strength\, and community. During this global pandemic\, many people were traveling less\, spending more time at home\, and moving their gatherings to the outdoors. Since then\, our relationship to nature has likely changed. Whether we are hiking or camping\, taking a walk in the park\, tending to a houseplant\, or rendering images of landscapes\, nature finds its way into our lives one way or another. It may find itself in our homes and our neighborhoods in small and perhaps overlooked ways. \nTo learn more about L.A. GOAL and Inside Out Productions\, please visit our websites:\nwww.lagoal.org\nwww.insideoutproductions.com \nPlease note: Masks will be required at this event.

Together\, they lead Los Angeles-based and award-winning architectural practice P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S\, which they founded in 2002 as a speculative platform to explore an increasingly global design culture. Their work reveals a rigorous and progressive approach to projects and buildings across materials\, scales\, agendas and geographies\, insisting on the cultural and social relevance of architectural form\, contemporary aesthetics and emerging technologies. Their books include PATTERNS: Embedded\, the studio first monograph published in 2010 by Shanghai based ACDCU and Mute Icons & Other Dichotomies of the Real in Architecture recently released by ACTAR Press. Marcelo Spina is a Design Faculty at SCI-Arc and Georgina Huljich is an Associate Professor at UCLA AUD. \nP-A-T-T-E-R-N-S is a leading architectural practice led by partners Marcelo Spina and Georgina Huljich. The studio brings a critical and progressive approach to projects across scales\, programs\, and geographies\, insisting on the cultural and social relevance of architectural form\, contemporary aesthetics\, and emerging technologies. Based in Los Angeles\, the forward-looking studio takes advantage of the city’s decidedly global stance and idiosyncratic identity to create engaging and speculative architectural projects that become civic and cultural landmarks within the public realm. \nP-A-T-T-E-R-N-S gained international recognition as one of the most intriguing and broadminded firms in contemporary architecture with work exhibited worldwide\, most notably at the Venice Biennale in Italy\, The Chicago Biennial\, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles\, The Art Institute of Chicago\, The San Francisco MOMA\, The MAK Museum in Vienna\, and The FRAC in Orleans\, where it is also part of their permanent collections. \nP-A-T-T-E-R-N-S work has been published extensively and has been the subject of numerous essays\, books\, magazines\, newspapers\, and catalogues. \nP-A-T-T-E-R-N-S is a registered Women Owned Business\, Minority Owned Business and Small Business Enterprise. \nIntroduced and moderated by Stephen Phillips\, FAIA\, PhD\, Principal of Stephen Phillips Architects (SPARCHS) and professor\, director\, Cal Poly LA Metro Program in Architecture and Urban Design (California Polytechnic State University\, San Luis Obispo). \nPhotos (Left to Right): Image of A4H Office Building\, 2020\, Image of Marcelo Spina and Georgina Huljich\, Image of Prism Gallery\, 2013.\n \n  URL:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/event/patterns/ LOCATION:Helms Design Center\, 8745 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City\, CA\, 90232 CATEGORIES:News ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/PATTERNS-constant-contact-banner.jpg GEO:34.0286594;-118.3857496 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Helms Design Center 8745 Washington Boulevard Culver City CA 90232;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=8745 Washington Boulevard:geo:-118.3857496,34.0286594 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220515T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220515T170000 DTSTAMP:20260405T020912 CREATED:20220509T235825Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220512T165833Z UID:10000473-1652616000-1652634000@helmsdesigndistrict.com SUMMARY:In Harmony with Nature: The Architectural Work of James Hubbell DESCRIPTION:Helms Design Center\n8745 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City\nExhibition runs April 22 – June 18\, 2022\nViewing hours: Friday-Sunday\, 12 PM – 5 PM \nJames Hubbell is a painter\, sculptor and architectural designer who has spent 60 years designing and making buildings\, artifacts and fine artworks that reflect a deep passion for the ocean and for earth’s gifts.

We work out of a renovated warehouse at the nexus of the Arts District\, Little Tokyo and Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles. First founded by Peter Tolkin in 2000\, our studio has designed and built projects of various types and scales\, including creative workspaces\, single and multi-family housing\, mixed-use and retail\, restaurants and hotels\, and arts-based projects. TOLO’s designs draw from the rich material and cultural conditions that characterize the world we live in. Rather than conceiving our architectural role as primarily inventors of form\, we also see our role as one that interprets and shapes relationships and situations. \nPeter Tolkin\, AIA is managing principal of TOLO Architecture. Peter founded the practice\, previously called Peter Tolkin Architecture\, in 2002 and since then has led the design of dozens of residential\, commercial\, cultural and arts-related projects. At TOLO\, Peter advocates for the social and cultural agency of architecture\, an approach informed by his prior work as a documentary photographer and his studies with American artists Allan Sekula and Lewis Baltz. Peter first rose to prominence in 2002 when Architectural Record named him one of its ten emerging international “Design Vanguard” architects. Peter received a Bachelor of Arts in Art and Art History from UC Santa Cruz\, a Master of Fine Arts in Photography from California Institute of the Arts (CalArts)\, and a Master of Architecture from Columbia University. \nSarah Lorenzen\, AIA is principal at TOLO Architecture and an architecture professor at Cal Poly Pomona (where she was department chair from 2012-2016). Sarah has practiced architecture for more than 20 years\, working on a variety of building types including educational\, residential\, institutional\, and arts-related projects. Prior to TOLO Architecture\, Sarah worked as a project architect at a number of award-winning firms in Atlanta\, San Francisco and Los Angeles. She completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Drawing at Smith College and at the Atlanta College of Art\, and has two Master of Architecture degrees\, the first from Georgia Institute of Technology and the second from the Southern California Institute of Architecture (Sci-Arc). Sarah has published and edited articles on architecture and urbanism\, and has received multiple design awards and grants including several Graham Foundation grants\, a Fulbright Fellowship\, and a travel fellowship to China. \nPhotos (Left to Right): Image of Peter Tolkin\, Image of Night Gallery\, 2022\, Image of Sarah Lorenzen.\n \nIntroduced and moderated by Stephen Phillips\, FAIA\, PhD\, Principal of Stephen Phillips Architects (SPARCHS) and professor\, director\, Cal Poly LA Metro Program in Architecture and Urban Design (California Polytechnic State University\, San Luis Obispo) and Jimenez Lai\, Principal of Bureau Spectacular and faculty\, Cal Poly LA Metro Program in Architecture and Urban Design (California Polytechnic State University\, San Luis Obispo) URL:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/event/tolo/ LOCATION:Helms Design Center\, 8745 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City\, CA\, 90232 CATEGORIES:News ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/TOLO-Architecture_1200px.jpg GEO:34.0286594;-118.3857496 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Helms Design Center 8745 Washington Boulevard Culver City CA 90232;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=8745 Washington Boulevard:geo:-118.3857496,34.0286594 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220501T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220501T180000 DTSTAMP:20260405T020912 CREATED:20220104T184901Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220404T170334Z UID:10000292-1651420800-1651428000@helmsdesigndistrict.com SUMMARY:Russel and Mary Wright: Dragon Rock at Manitoga DESCRIPTION:Free \nPlease join us in celebration of the publication of \nRussel and Mary Wright: Dragon Rock at Manitoga\nA Discussion with author Jennifer Golub & Eames Demetrios \nSunday\, May 1st 2022 at 4:00 PM\nHelms Design Center | 8745 Washington Boulevard | Culver City \nJennifer Golub discusses her new book Russel and Mary Wright: Dragon Rock at Manitoga with Eames Demetrios. \n“The book fills in the gaps\, from how the house evolved to Mary’s involvement.
