It could be said, by virtue of the movie industry and the enormity of all other creative output in the city, that Los Angeles is the most photographed urban area in the world. That is not to say that it is some Beaux-Arts fantasy of beauty like Paris, or has any of the romantic history of most cities Western and Eastern alike making for anything one could call picturesque or photogenic. Conversley, L.A. is the town of all things fabricated, manufactured and transported. It is also a mecca for 'un-creative' business, especially the small businesses specific to the many cultures of various origin that have establisihed the population of the expansive metropolis.
Most of this landscape is on wheels and is also occupied by the homeless, drug-addicted, criminal and otherwise abject margins of humanity. In contrast we find miles-long beaches full of steroid enhanced muscle and silicon inflated boobs, or verdant estates peppered with flashy mega-mansions of the mega-rich and mega-famous. This cultural cacophony and near total lack of genuine 'pretty' combined with a preponderance of vernacular architecture overflowing with Disneyesque movie-land cliche gives the region an abundance of subject matter that has fascinated photographers for a very long time.
From a blurry tuft of grass belonging to a suburban lawn to vast imposing panoramas of the entire basin, a movie shoot, winding freeways full of traffic, the faux Spanish baroque towers of downtown, or the classic silhouette of a row of palms–as a subject the Los Angeles region is an extremely rich treasure trove which has been exploited with an endless variety of approaches by generations of image makers. "L.A.NDSCAPES" is a large exhibit that explores this territory with the gusto to be expected from this group of highly innovative and technically adroit artist/photographers. It is by virtue of the efforts of visionaries such as these that a city that seems to have little to 'hang your hat on' in terms of identity, takes on an unmistakable character that is loved by its inhabitants and visitors alike, faults and all.

Ava Richey Brings the Artists and Writers Exchange back to the Bay Area
For those of you new to Coos Bay/North Bend and Bandon may not know about the Artists and Writers Exchange. This clever blend of disciplines was engineered by Ava Richey of Bandon. (Big surprise, someone from Bandon coming up with a brilliant and different art project…) The original flavor was presented two years ago and filled the Southern Coos Hospital with images and words and many proud and pleased artists of both varieties. Now we have the 2010 version, Food For Thought, and with it comes all of the energy and effort from the last incarnation along with the puzzle of deciding just what food for art is and how it can be best realized.
No, I won’t give you any clues. You’ll have to figure it out for yourself. And that is all part of the exchange. Forty writers and forty visual artists will exchange art work taking the art from the opposite discipline and creating a completely new work based on what they receive. Peace in the Middle East should be easy by comparison.
So don’t drag your feet, if you got an invitation to submit do it now, time’s awasting and its first come, first served. Don’t be left standing with your palette in your hand when all the other artists are busily scurrying to their studios and if you are a writer, well, standing around with a computer or word processor in your hand can be exhausting. Don’t let it happen to you, get your entry in today and then you can sweat it out like all of the rest waiting for the art you have to re-imagine.
The Artists and Writers Exchange 2010, Food For Thought, coming to a hospital near you, this is really one time you want to be taken to the hospital and won’t you feel neglected if everyone else does it and there you are with nothing to do? First come first served, so don’t be late
And if by some terrible clerical error you weren’t included call Ava and whine, beg and wheedle and maybe she’ll get you in. If you are pitiful enough you might not get in this time, but you could burn such an indelible image on Ava’s mind that she’ll include you in the next Exchange just to avoid the whimpering.

From Ava Richey
Art information follows this announcement.
Hello Everyone,
This coming Monday, June 7th, we will be joining the Port Orford First Monday Art Group at the Port Orford Public Library, 12- 3 p.m. The Library is next door to Ray's Market in Port Orford.
We will be working with Lani as the model, doing life drawing/painting. The cost is $65 to be divided among the participants, so please plan on attending if possible. In the past it has worked out to about $5 each. Thanks Georganne White for making all this happen.
After painting session, Dana Amarisa has invited us to drop by her new studio, 783 Washington Street in Port Orford to check it out, and see her wonderful paintings, so hope you can take a few minutes for that. Thanks Dana.
---------------------------
We had good painting at New River last week, even though it was quite misty. Looking forward to going there again later.
Here are two events upcoming for you painters, and I hope you will consider participating in both of them. Please let me know if you will be able to join in.
We have been invited to show our plein air paintings at Gallery by the Bay in North Bend for the month of July, and will be featured at their Art Walk reception on Thursday, July 8th.
You may show 1-3 paintings. I hope many of you will join in and show off your gorgeous plein air paintings.
I need to give Jean a list as soon as possible of artists who will be showing their work. Please e-mail me back to let me know that you will be putting work in the show. Then in a couple of weeks (or sooner) I will need the titles, medium and prices of the paintings you will be showing. I can deliver your paintings for them to hang on Thursday, July 1st, or you can drop them off yourselves on July 2nd.
------------------------------------
The paintout for Monday, July 12th will be in Coquille on the trail by the Coquille River where it runs near downtown. We have been asked to help with an event to raise funds for their river trail project by donating a painting that will be for sale the following Saturday, July 17th.
They will be hosting a Garden Tour on that Saturday, with a sale of art after the tour. They would love to have us set up and paint in various gardens on Saturday too. (Yes there is a lot going on that day).
They will return our painting(s) if they don't sell. To keep things affordable, they can be matted and displayed in a clear sealed bag; or painted on a wrapped canvas. Or they can be framed.
As usual, summer is a busy, fun time and goes by quickly. I hope you will be painting, participating and having a wonderful time, when it gets here. :)
My phone is 347-4643, cell phone is 541-297-66118.
Thanks.
Ava
