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 March 16th from  7:00 – 8:30pm the book selection is ART & FEAR: OBSERVATIONS ON THE PERILS (AND REWARDS) OF ARTMAKING by Ted Orland\, and David Bayles \nArt & Fear explores the way art gets made\, the reasons it often doesn’t get made\, and the nature of the difficulties that cause so many artists to give up along the way. This is an old favorite\, and a quick read (and worth re-reading several times). \nJOIN THE CLUB!

SUMMARY:Architecture is a Social Act with Lorcan O'Herlihy + Frances Anderton
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Thursday\, February 18th from 6:30 to 7:30PM\, please join Lorcan O’Herlihy\, FAIA\, and Frances Anderton for a livestream discussion about LOHA’s latest monograph Architecture Is a Social Act. Lorcan and Frances will talk about his work\, and how he navigates tight budgets and stakeholder needs to integrate common space. He will also share insights into 410 Rossmore\, his latest Los Angeles project\, where he will add five new floors of co-living space to the 90-year-old apartment building in Hancock Park. \nRegister here. Once you register\, a Zoom link will be emailed prior to the event date. \nTo purchase a signed copy of the book\, please visit Arcana: Books on the Arts. \n \nLorcan O’Herlihy is the founder and design principal of Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects [LOHA]\, a Los Angeles/Detroit based architecture and urban design firm. \nLorcan O’Herlihy spent his childhood as a thespian’s son. His father Dan O’Herlihy was an actor and took his family on overseas shoots. From time spent hanging out in Rome\, London and other great urban cities\, Lorcan developed a deep appreciation for social space. \nHe has since made his mark as an architect with housing\, workplaces and cultural buildings that put human connectivity at their center\, while emphasizing bold design. Formosa 1140 in West Hollywood\, for example\, connects residents and neighbors in a pocket park\, and it bursts with the color and spirit of the nearby Formosa Cafe\, a one time drinking haunt of Dan O’Herlihy and his buddy Orson Welles. O’Herlihy has tackled social inequity in Detroit with a conversion of the African Bead Museum\, new housing and neighborhood plans. At Isla Intersections in South LA\, he has put supportive housing in a complex of prefabricated structures attached to a paseo. These are just some of the projects featured in his latest monograph\, Architecture Is a Social Act published by Frame\, with an introduction by Frances Anderton. \n \nFrances Anderton covers design and architecture in Los Angeles for radio\, podcast and print. A series she co-produced\, Wasted: Neat Solutions to the Dirty Problem of Waste\, is currently airing on KCRW public radio station. She is writing a book entitled Common Ground: Multifamily Housing in Los Angeles; and she is working with Helms Bakery District on the programming of events and talks about design\, architecture and art. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Westside Urban Forum Hosts the Mayors Panel
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, February 10 from 12:00 to 1:00PM\, please join Westside Urban Forum (WUF) for the annual Mayors Forum! \nThis is a WUF signature event that brings together the Westside Mayors for a candid discussion of each Mayor’s priorities for 2021\, the land use policy issues of importance to each city\, and provides the opportunity to understand the different ways in which these unique cities are responding to current issues in what is already another extraordinary year. \nIn 2021 our Mayors will be faced with a myriad of issues\, including the central conflict of land use and social and racial equity\, police reform\, and housing and homelessness – all within an environment of shrinking budgets resulting from the pandemic. To begin to address these complex matters\, what are the cities’ near-term responses to retail spaces left vacant by the pandemic? How are cities going to change as a result of the pandemic and what temporary COVID policies would the Mayors like to see adopted permanently (such as encouraging telecommuting to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution\, greater diversity in housing typologies and private outdoor space\, growing park space for all community members\, or allowing outdoor dining to remain permanently)? How are the cities working to address structural racial and social injustices in land use and government agencies’ operations? What measures are cities considering to address police reform and community mental health? What is the outlook for public transit and the extension of the Purple Line Subway? And what does all of this mean for the cities’ plans to address climate change? \nPanelists:\nMayor Lester Friedman\, City of Beverly Hills\nMayor Alex Fisch\, City of Culver City\nMayor Sue Himmelrich\, City of Santa Monica\nMayor Lindsey Horvath\, City of West Hollywood \nRegistration: Registration closes for this Zoom panel on February 9 at 9:00 pm. \nWUF Members                               Free\nNonmembers                                $35.00\nStudent Nonmembers                $10.00 \nREGISTER NOW to be a WUF Member for 2021 and attend all monthly panel events for FREE through December 2021.

SUMMARY:Westside Urban Forum Hosts Virtual Panel Discussion - Accounting for COVID:  Rescuing Our Municipal Budgets
DESCRIPTION: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. \nCities 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. \nThe 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. \nThis 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? \nWUF 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. \nPanelists​\nRon Galperin\, City Controller\, City of Los Angeles\,\nJeff Kiernan\, Regional Public Affairs Manager\, League of California Cities\nShavi Sarna\, Senior Vice President\, Ernst & Young\, Restructuring Advisory Services \nModerator​\nTeifion Rice-Evans\, Managing Principal\, Economic and Planning Systems \nSuggested Contribution\n$10 Members\n$15 Nonmembers \nClick HERE to make a contribution.  Thank you! \nClick HERE to register. \nZoom information will be sent to all participants on the morning of June 23rd.

SUMMARY:Westside Urban Forum Virtual Discussion: After the Pandemic\, How L.A.'s Restaurants and Retail Will Heal
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn 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.  \n 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. \nThe 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?  \nPanelists\nMichael J. Berne\, President\, MJB Consulting\nDeborah Kahen\, Senior City Planner\, City of Los Angeles\nJosh Loeb\, Owner\, Rustic Canyon Group\nWally Marks\, President\, WNM Realty \nModerator\nZachary Tindall\, Managing Director\, Streetsense \nWUF is pleased to present this event at no charge\, but it requires registration to participate via Zoom. Donations are gratefully accepted. Please click here to make a donation. \nClick HERE to register. Zoom information will be sent to all participants on the morning of June 10th.
