It's all about art this weekend!
| |
Here are a few of the unique and unusual things happening this weekend:
One stop art: head to the LA Convention Center for the annual LA Art Show all weekend. Galleries, museums and arts organizations assembled in one place.
Unique: The Velaslavasay Panorama exhibition hall, theatre, and garden located in the historic Union Threatre in the West Adams District is open on weekends. They also have a program of special screenings they call Mush to the Movies. The first of these is next Thursday evening.
 TICKET GIVEAWAY: Father and son forgiveness is at the heart of a hilarious, heart-wrenching and triumphant solo play Mutant Olive by writer/performer Mitch Hara. A self-described "ADHD buzz saw looking for a two-by-four," Hara gives life to alter-ego Adam Astra, an actor whose past seems to constantly seep into his present. Breaking the fourth wall, Astra gleefully spoons out tales of his soul-sucking childhood, monstrous substance abuse, rampant sex and crashed cars - all during the course of an audition for Death of a Salesman. What will he say or do next? Find out by winning one out of 5 pairs to see this lively show at The Lounge Theatre in Hollywood on Friday, Jan. 23 @ 8 p.m. Drop your name in the hat by emailing us at eyespylareviews@gmail.com

2015 is off to a roaring start! Most signs will be energized and feeling very social. This is an excellent time to reconnect with a long lost pal, rekindle an old flame or spend quality time with those that matter most. Take the initiative by reaching out to someone you hold dear. Water and Earth signs should be focused on home and family matters. Fire and Air will do best traveling and or putting their energies into careers. Any outstanding projects left unfinished from last year should be addressed and completed immediately. Finalization brings a fresh start and freedom.
