This weekend, check out "Beyond Eden" art fair event at the L.A. Municipal Art Gallery in Barnsdall Park!  Here's the press release for the event, so you can find out about the galleries and artists represented.  Many of the artists and galleries that Mr. Larry photographs are involved.  It will be nice to see the results of all this work!!

Barnsdall Park is one of my favorite parks in the City.  As a youth I took classes at the Junior Art Center.  As an adult, I toured the Aline Barnsdall home, Hollyhock House, designed by architect, Frank Lloyd Wright.

The exterior of Art Gallery buildings and theater, built years after Hollyhock House, mimic the carved textile blocks of Wright's original structure.

I look forward to Beyond Eden.  It's always an event!  Here are a few photos from the 2009 event.  I'll look for you at Barnsdall!  Wear something artsy!
