ARTmageddon - A 2-Day Citywide Art Party During Carmageddon II September 29, 2012

ARTmageddon
A Two-Day Citywide Art Party
That Will Have LA Residents Walking, Biking and Metro-ing to Art in Their Neighborhoods

In response to Metro’s recent announcement of Carmageddon II, a consortium of LA-based artists and arts organizations are uniting to create ARTmageddon, a two-day citywide celebration of the prolific and inspiring art happening all over Los Angeles. Let’s all take this opportunity to celebrate and support the local art happening across Los Angeles on Carmageddon weekend, September 29 & 30, 2012, by sticking close to home and checking out the galleries, theaters and music venues located near YOU!

At http://www.ARTmageddonLA.com, Los Angeles residents can discover a comprehensive list of all the great visual, performing and media arts events happening on Saturday, September 29 and Sunday, September 30, 2012. This is the perfect opportunity to leave your car at home and experience the art created and presented in your neighborhoods.

During Carmageddon in July of 2011, the entire city was bombarded with apocalyptic messages from the media, telling us not to leave our homes on Carmageddon weekend. That’s when something amazing happened. Los Angelenos actually did what the media asked. Rather than being irritated by Carmageddon weekend, something of a party atmosphere swept the city!

When news of another Carmageddon was announced for late September, an amazing opportunity for a city-wide art party across Los Angeles emerged … ARTmageddon!

“Each week, arts patrons from across Los Angeles travel miles of freeway – over rivers, across canyons, and in rush hour traffic – at times, to experience art at their favorite theaters, museums and galleries,” remarked project leaders Diana Wyenn, REDCAT’s Marketing and Media Relations Manager, and Ezra LeBank, Theatre Arts Professor at CSU Long Beach. “Carmageddon II is the perfect opportunity to encourage Los Angelenos to leave their cars behind and experience performances, concerts, screenings, exhibitions and more, being created and presented in their own neighborhoods.”

Less Car. More Art! ARTmageddon… is here.
