Cargo Container Art/Performance Venue is up for Grabs!
Cargo Container Art/Performance Venue is up for Grabs!
Long Beach's "Goods Gallery" is a multi-use arts space in search of a
good home.
Since Santa Monica broke ground with Ashes and Snow in 2006, cargo
container structures arrived in L.A.: In Redondo Beach and Venice,
Peter DeMaria built homes out of recycled containers and in Long
Beach, we built a public art/performance venue.
After 3 months and 10 events, the "Goods Gallery" must be moved to
make room for the development of a more permanent art facility.
Owners of the gallery are offering the structure to any non-profit or
school in Los Angeles for free. If no one steps forward, "Goods
Gallery" owner, Ryan Smolar will recycle the containers or consider
offers from the private sector.
"We hope non-profits, schools and City agencies will respond," said
Smolar. "The Goods Gallery can fit in any neighborhood and offers a
sustainable, affordable, reversible alternative - in a down economy –
for art and performance space." The Gallery is posted on E-bay
(starting bid: $2,000) and Craigslist.
The three cargo containers, connected in a U-shape, create an open
courtyard for performances and 150 linear feet of wall space for art
exhibitions. The Goods Gallery will host its last show, a Cal State
Long Beach Student Showcase, on January 31.
The Goods Gallery originated as part of University by the Sea in
October 2008, a day-long festival that transforms downtown restaurants
and streets into a university for a day. With art galleries and spaces
on the decline in the area, Smolar thought University by the Sea could
help bring gallery space to downtown Long Beach.
"I'm proud of this project," Smolar said. "How often can a small
marketing company help transform a blighted city-block into an active
public space? I just hope someone else can get as much good out of it
as we did."
The Goods Gallery partnership included instrumental contributions from
the Long Beach Redevelopment Agency, the Port of Long Beach, MHP
Structural Engineers, the Downtown Long Beach Associates, Donelon
Construction, Smolarcorp, ISM: A Community Project, Inc., OOCL,
Matson, Hyundai and Ports America.
To request ownership of the "Goods Gallery," please contact Ryan
Smolar (213) 268-4924 or ryan@smolarcorp.com. For commercial entities,
please visit our E-bay listing (Item # 170296663543)

to partner with small California arts organizations in rural or
under-served communities to implement new or expanded projects that make

identified as "The Three R's:" Relationships (building partnerships),
Relevance (to audiences and community), and Return on Investment
(promoting organizations' public value and economic impact to the
authorizing environment).
Up to $10,000 in grant funding is available, and returning applicants
should read the application guidelines carefully, as some of the
requirements have changed from last year. The Creating Public Value

elements to achieve its goal of becoming a public-value-driven agency:
Advocating for the Arts, Public Awareness, and Programs.

Panel Discussion and Reception featuring DJ Puffs
Thursday, December 4, 2008
7 - 9pm
Autry National Center
Griffith Park
4700 Western Heritage Way, Los Angeles, CA 90027
Once regarded strictly as vandalism, street art has pervaded our culture, appearing on everything from public spaces to album covers, t-shirts to cell phone wall paper, corporate ads to presidential campaigns. So what makes this visual expression, sometimes seen only as a nuisance, an art form? Why is it appearing in museums and selling in galleries? What does it mean that L.A. has some of the most prominent and ubiquitous street artists in the nation? Join graff artists, entrepreneurs, and creative thinkers for a discussion of the practice and presence of graffiti and more.
Discussion Panel with Chaz Bojorquez, ManOne, and Roger Gastman
Chaz Bojorquez
Bojorquez's iconic street style has distinguished his art for decades. He is the acknowledged O.G. veterano Godfather of East Los Angeles Cholo style graffiti for more than 37 years. His work spans city streets and includes exhibitions and collections in prestigious museums such as the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. Bojorquez's reach is international with commissions and artwork in Mexico, Spain, and Japan among other countries.
Roger Gastman
With deep roots in the worlds of graffiti and street art, Gastman has spent over 15 years at the forefront of street culture and the graff movement. Roger has produced documentaries and films, including Infamy and is at work on another about the history of U.S. graffiti. He founded two of the most respected pop-culture magazines of the last decade that include SWINDLE and serves as contributing editor of Juxtapoz. Gastman has produced more than a dozen art books and is a respect authority on street art.
Man One
Involved with the Graffiti Art Movement since 1987, Man One began his artistic journey on the streets of Los Angeles tagging and leaving his trademark of bold, colorful aerosol strokes as he searched for his artistic purpose.
Moderated by Elizabeth Morín
Morín is a frequent speaker on issues of cultural identity and representation, diversity in museum practice, and youth culture. She has organized a number of programs and exhibitions on urban art. Elizabeth is currently working on her next exhibition "Los Angeles Canvas: Graffiti Art and Culture." Morín informs and shapes policy on youth culture, arts education, and civic engagement as the head of Youth Arts and Education, Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles.
