Hello September!

September is nearly upon us and that means more stuff will be happening in the Los Feliz Art and Design District. Happy’s current exhibition of stitchings by Jim Gentry in our main space and Leia Jervert’s site specific installation (in our closet) will end on Sunday August 30. Please come by and see for yourself what these two unique artists are doing. Check out our features in these fine publications:

Fresh Pressed:

Those lucky enough to attend our neighbor Fresh Pressed’s one night exhibition of polaramas by Gal Harpaz on August 7 were not just enamored with Fresh Pressed’s inspiring DIY haven for wearable expression, but got a glimpse of Harpaz’s personal polaroid panorama world. Fresh Pressed’s next show on Sept. 4 will feature work by Michael C. Hsiung. Hsiung’s charming and hilarious illustrations are a perfect fit for Fresh Pressed and the Los Feliz Art and Design District. The artist will be on hand that night to demonstrate screenprinting of selected works.

That night, Happy will feature drawings by Los Angeles artist May Jong and the Echo Park Film Center in our project room. It promises to be a great night on Hollywood Blvd.

Art Jaunt:

Closet Cases artist Karen Frimkess Wolff is featured in Flights of Fancy at the American Jewish University in Bel Air. The show, on view until October 14, includes collaborative sculpture by Los Angeles artists Karen and Dori Atlantis, as well as work by Ruth Lercher Bornstein and Anita Segalman. Going to the Getty and Skirball Center? Make it a day of art and culture along the 405! More info at http://www.ajula.edu/
