From YouTube: 2018 Inglewood Open Studios

Description

Inglewood is both the fastest growing artist community in Los Angeles and the fastest growing city with the newly announced YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles of the LA Phil), building renovation by Frank Gehry, the upcoming NFL stadium, Clippers Arena, two new Metro stations, new art galleries and new businesses moving into Inglewood.

The 12th annual Inglewood Open Studios is keeping pace with this incredible growth with a brand new visual identity, new family friendly events and important new partnerships. These changes will help IOS to showcase individual professional artist studios and art galleries that make up the burgeoning Inglewood art community.

A

Think it's all about telling my story telling my community story telling the you know the story of my parrot voice is putting it out there in a very beautiful way, that's accessible to a lot of people. You know spoken word or performance. Poetry, I think, creates a bridge between communities. Unless you hear stories, I.

C

Work really from feel usually I. Just look at a piece of stone and I go for a piece of wood. It's like what what's it, what I want to do with it? What can I do with it have an idea and then, when I go to it as it develops a more feel and I look at it. It's like it's not quite.

D

Right it needs this or it needs that and that's how I work, I work with found materials found being save buzz truckloads of materials once it was old or the parts from an old man's downtown flea markets. Is that kind of thing, but now I have so many materials that just generally utilize I think it's.

E

A very different process: I, don't use any paintbrushes catalog, so no brushes, no solvents I use straight oil things and pallet knives. I feel like I'm, being a good steward of the environment by not really putting anything in landfill or the water supply. I used all the pains, there's nothing to clean up you'll.

F

Hear a theme of flow constantly with me and flow for me stands for fear, listen, observation and wonder those are the essential factors of creativity and building community and education, and what we wanted to do here was establish a place where not only were featured on the Englewood Open Studios, one of my neighbors to know: hey, let's get together and build community, so we build that camaraderie.

C

Great to have other artists meet other artists, you get to build your community and it's a really nice feeling to go talk to other people and and develop a sense of community and and then I get to be, like you know the artist for the day and show off my work. Last night we had a group show and I got to meet all the other artists that are participating, I.

F

Used to have bands and I would tell them I got this from Miles Davis Hotel don't-don't-don't rehearse. Let's show up and just let it happen, let's be on the edge of it and just see what comes out so last night. That's what happened. This is the first time ever met Fay, we talked on the phone by text had never heard his piece. I have not heard their piece and we met immediately when I walked in. There was a camaraderie. They read their piece for maybe one or two seconds. Listen to it.

F

They told me that mom was going to be involved with the rest was absolutely spontaneous and that's a deeper cut of creativity for me, I like to express to people, because I think creativity offers an opportunity for us to communicate beyond language within through culture. That's what you saw occurring there and.

A

That's when I heard mommy say welcome home.
