A Peek Inside: 

Anne Krinsky combines painting, print, photography and video with archival and geographical research. She is fascinated by the passage of time and the ephemeral nature of the physical world. Since 2018, she has been working on an international project about vulnerable wetlands and climate change.
Diana Taylor works across painting, textiles and print media, exploring notions of time, loss and ruin in visual culture. Recurring motifs that reflect her interests are appropriated from museum catalogues, architectural reference books, craft kits, botanical guides, books on geology, ancient ruins, domestic patterns and other print ephemera.
David McDonald works in both sculpture and painting. The visual qualities of his work vary, but they are connected through a belief in process and intuition as a way of developing work. He believes all things in the natural world are interdependent, and creates situations within his work where this is true.
Debra Disman is a Los Angeles-based artist known for her work inspired by the book, which traverses textiles, installation, sculpture and performance to push the familiar into forms that arrest and baffle, while simultaneously offering places of contemplation and solace.

PICO BLOCK PARTY & ARTISAN MARKETPLACE

May 19, 2019 By Debra Disman

Join us at the one and only 2019

PICO BLOCK PARTY & ARTISAN MARKETPLACE
18th Street Arts Center Campus
June 1, 2019 | 3-6 PM
FREE | RSVP HERE FOR FREE TICKETS

Pico Block Party is BACK! 18th Street Arts Center’s fourth major Pico Block Party community festival celebrates local Santa Monica artists and artisans. For the very first time, we will feature our brand-new, one-of-a-kind Artisan Marketplace, which will showcase the handmade goods of Santa Monica artists, artisans, chefs, and craftspersons!

Artist Open Studios:

* David McDonald (Los Angeles)
* THE WINTER OFFICE (Denmark)
* ha:ar – Hande Şekerciler and Arda Yalkın (Turkey)
* Debra Disman (Los Angeles)
* Anthony Discenza (San Francisco)
* and more…

The Pico Block Party series grew out of 18th Street Arts Center’s in-depth community outreach programs, including its bilingualneighborhood oral history project, CultureMapping90404.org. That project spurred the creation of a Neighborhood Advisory Council in 2018, who helped shape the content for this Pico Block Party.

Come sample the creativity in your own backyard, and support local artists in the process!

The free family-friendly artistic festival will feature art-making workshops with professional artists, performances, open studios with resident artists, exhibitions, food trucks, artisanal local goods, and other creative activities.


FREE | RSVP HERE FOR FREE TICKETS

For questions or to request a free community group booth, email sbyank@18thstreet.org.
