Join us for Art Walk on Thursday, July 14th
Please join us for the Downtown Art Walk debut of Coral Forest, an interactive art installation by Los Angeles-based artist Doron Gazit.
Coral Forest Artist Reception with Doron Gazit
Thursday, July 14, 2016
4-6 p.m.
Hosted by Preux & Proper
840 S Spring St. Los Angeles, CA 90014
Please RSVP to info@fashiondistrict.org
Coral Forest is an interactive installation made up of 10 giant "sea forms" that are moved and rearranged to create a new shape every time the installation is displayed. The inflatable art uses air as a medium and explores how people interact with the element. The inflatables were inspired by the Fashion District and made of fabric that was hand dyed to create the impression of texture. The public is invited to walk through, touch, and take selfies with the art.

Central City Community Plan Update
Bryan Eck, City Planner, and his team brought Fashion District property owners up-to-date on the Central City Community Plan at a meeting on June 23rd. The update to the Community Plan began in 2008 but was stopped due to the Great Recession and City budget cuts. The effort was relaunched in 2014. This past year, the planning process has included an assessment of existing conditions, zoning and holding community meetings to review the draft plan and concepts. The EIR and adoption of the new updated Community Plan for Downtown should be done in 2017/2018.
Much of the work done by AECOM in the Fashion District's 2011 Plan has been included in the Fashion District's portion of the Community Plan. The new Community Plan will also include an update to all zoning codes via ReCode LA, as well as a Mobility Plan and the plans by Metro.
