The venue will occupy a renovated row of seven storefronts on York Boulevard at the corner of Armadale Avenue, which Occidental recently purchased. Dr. Amy Lyford, a Professor of Art and Associate Dean of Arts and Humanities at the college and one of the principals in the development of the project, told a recent meeting of the Historic Highland Park Neighborhood Council Land Use Committee that there will be three key spaces in the arts center--a gallery, a mixed-use space suitable for performances, and a smaller space for an office, a meeting room and a visiting artists’ area. All of the uses will be tied to the Occidental curriculum. The center will be part of the college’s arts initiative, “Oxy Arts,” in collaboration with the college’s new institute for the Study of Los Angeles, which will explore the City from historic and cultural perspectives. Lyford told the Land Use Committee that a variety of artistic programs, open to the public, could be held in the new spaces, among them film, music, readings by authors, community workshops, and presentations of coursework related to Northeast L.A. She presented as an example of artistic collaboration between the college and the community, the college’s recent role as a venue for the Highland Park Independent Film Festival. Occidental’s Vice President for Finance and Planning, Amos Himmelstein, told the Land Use Committee that one-third of the space at the new center will be reserved for retail uses. According to Himmelstein, no tenant has been signed yet, but the college is thinking about food--not fancy food, but fare that is affordable to college students and community members, perhaps served up in a residency situation by entrepreneurs in their first brick and mortar. The 1925 row of storefronts is part of the original architectural heritage of the York Valley area. “It has the fabric of the neighborhood,” says Himmelstein. While the interior of the building will be redesigned for educational purposes, the exterior of the building will maintain its character, and Himmelstein says that the feasibility of bring back the glass windows is being investigated. The building has a history in the arts. A number of local artists have maintained studios there, and it was once home to a NELAart Second Saturday Gallery Night venue, Sea and Space Explorations. Jim Tranquada, Director of Communications for Occidental, says that the college is hoping that renovation work will be completed by the summer of 2016, with arts programming beginning shortly thereafter.

The canyons are targeted for development with high-end housing. One canyon alone, Walnut Canyon, has a pending proposal for 32 houses. But Northeast L.A. residents have come forward in large numbers to demand that local green spaces be kept just that--green. The canyons are significant for several reasons: Many area residents chose to locate to the area due to the proximity to nature. The canyons are used by residents for exercise. They provide habitat for wildlife in an urban environment where wildlife corridors are disappearing. They are home to endangered and protected varieties of plant life. Hiking in the canyons is an interesting way for children and adults to become acquainted with the beauty and importance of the nature that surrounds us. The four threatened spaces are: Walnut Canyon, a place of great biodiversity including three rare California Black Walnut Groves; Moss Canyon, a natural groundwater filtration & percolation basin; Barryknoll Canyon, a place of scenic urban vistas; and El Rosa Canyon, with walking paths, views and abundant plant life. Jennifer Campbell, an area resident who is one of the leaders of the fight to protect the canyons, points out significant features of the hillsides, many of which will be viewable on the hike. continued on page 2 Walnut Canyon(photo: NELAGreenspace) Hiking in the canyons of Glassell Park

SAVING NORTHEAST L.A.s HILLSIDE CANYONSNELAGreenSpace, a community-driven effort to preserve four beautiful canyons in Glassell Park as open space, will celebrate its first anniversary Saturday, November 14 with a hike followed by an update and cake.The canyons are targeted for development with high-end housing.

First off, says Campbell, are our native Black Walnut trees, that are protected by the City of Los Angeles because of their scarcity. In the unique habitat that our hillsides provide they grow abundantly. They are not found anywhere else in the world! These trees are only found in very special growing situations and only in a few areas of Southern California.Campbell and other residents point out owls, hawks, heron, squirrels, coyotes, foxes, raccoons, skunks, a wide variety of migrating birds and native plant life. The struggle to protect the canyons is not simply for the benefit of those who reside immediately adjacent to them. The area, which is walking distance from major streets, offers opportunities for the broader area.Our canyons and hillsides are important to me because they are Northeast L.A.s
natural legacy, says Glassell Park resident Tony Scudellari, similar to what the beaches are to the Westside. This connection to nature is one the top reasons many people (including Native Americans) have moved here for centuries, says Scudellari. It is important to preserve this legacy for ALL residents of NELA. For me, it is vitally important that we preserve this open space for those who live in densely populated communities.We are under siege here in Glassell Park by the threat of unbridled development, says Campbell. We must make every effort to save what is left of these places in our city before they are all gone--one by one--until there are no urban wild spaces left due to death by a thousand cuts.
Saturday, November 141:30 p.m.--Meet at The Crestmoore Steps, Crestmoore Place and Verdugo Road.2-4 p.m.--Self-guided hikes of the Canyons.4 p.m.--Birthday cake, updates and music at El Rosa Canyon.Sponsored by NELAGreenspace

WE HEART EAGLE ROCK BLOCK PARTYShopping, Food, Fun on Small Business Saturday
The big chain stores may have had their holiday decorations up since the Fourth of July, but dont be deceived. The cool--and socially conscious--shopping experience begins after Thanksgiving, on Small Business Saturday. Small Business Saturday is an event that Eagle Rock pulls out all the stops for. The retail boutique businesses on Eagle Rock and Colorado Boulevards welcome residents of Northeast Los Angeles and visitors to the area with a We Heart Eagle Rock Block Party.The Block Party provides a chance to shop for unusual gifts, including clothing, art, books, jewelry, food items and more, for children and adults. Stores and restaurants offer special promotions and festivities.This year, there will be a fun Family Zone hosted by The Green Been, Petpalooza hosted by Daves Chillin-n-Grillin (thinking about adopting?), and a Health and Fitness Zone hosted by Back Benders.Perhaps best of all, the We Heart Eagle Rock Block Party, now in its fifth year, is an opportunity to gather with neighbors to celebrate the unique offerings of the Eagle Rock community. The event also serves as a reminder that there are many options when it comes to shopping local all year round.I started the We Heart Eagle Rock Block Party on Small Business Saturday to give the local community a chance to bring the family out and have fun supporting their local small shops!, says event founder Leanna Lin of Leanna Lins Wonderland.
5th Annual We Heart Eagle Rock Block Party on Small Business Saturday: Nov. 28, 11 a.m.-6 p.m.Maps will be available throughout the community.

Peeled & RawA Solo Exhibition Featuring Artist Dani Dodgewww.DaniDodge.comby Shoebox PR
Rather than making objects, Los Angeles artist Dani Dodge seeks to create moments that elevate, enlighten and transform. With Peeled & Raw, she focuses on fear. A 14-year-old Texas boy proudly brings a clock to school that he made himself. He wants to show his teacher. He is handcuffed and arrested. His name is Ahmed.
More than 100 adults and children are sickened by an outbreak of measles linked to visits to Disneyland. Nearly all are unimmunized.
As President Franklin Roosevelt noted, The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
With Peeled & Raw, Dodge allows participants to pick away at her installation, and in doing so shed their own fears.
At first glance, the installation could be a normal living room. Theres a couple on the couch watching a DIY home show on TV. There are a few windows, and pictures hang on the walls. But everything is covered with wallpaper. Everything. Even the couple. And the program on the television? How to Beautify Your Life with Wallpaper.
Visitors enter the room and use their fingernails to pick off edges of the wallpaper, and peel off strips. Underneath the wallpaper, they find even more. Layers upon layers upon layers of attempts to hide imperfections. Each layer seems to lead to an older and older vintage of wallpaper.
People write their fears onto the strips of wallpaper they have removed and leave them in a pile in the corner.
At the end of the exhibit, Dodge sweeps up all the fears, puts them into a burn barrel, and torches them.
Dodge is a former journalist. She was embedded with the 1st Marine Expeditionary Unit during the invasion of Iraq in 2003 when she realized that words did not give her enough tools to say everything she needed to say about the state of humanity. She became an artist so she could tell stories through abstraction, interaction and unique experiences. Her work is in three museum collections.
LA Artore is a 501(c)3 nonprofit public benefit organization that has served LA for 36 years. LA Artcore helps develop the careers of visual artists of diverse cultural backgrounds, bringing innovative contemporary art to the public, and provides educational programs by professional artists for people of all ages.
LA Artcore Brewery Annex650A S. Avenue 21Show runs December 2 to December 27, 2015Reception 1 to 3 p.m. December 6, 2015

Thanks for What You Giveby Brian Grillo
Just the way its supposed to this time of year, the sun hurries its way across the sky, the thick black velvet night curtains waiting in the wings, ready once again to take center stage. Today, more like a late Spring day outside than a November early winter day- dont let it fool you.
The late afternoon hue of pink lights up the parched dry foothills- rose colored sleeping giants, wrapped in their scratchy dry brush blankets, it lights up the old oak tree leaves that that line the scenic, twist and turn dangerous 110 freeway and the concrete Arroyo Seco river basin. They cover the ground and camouflage the gopher holes in the park that sits empty behind the chain link fence. Then, the train flies by on the bridge overhead as it disappears into the hills and makes its way towards Pasadena.
A lottery ticket gets caught up in a tiny breeze from where its been scratched and discarded on the sidewalk. It twirls in the air for a second before it settles, its bright orange WIN letters lying face up in the street. A good luck omen that things are gonna turn back around?
Lazy barks of a hundred backyard dogs echo across the landscape. Sounds of cars I cant see sound more like a slow Sunday drive than the last minute frenzy before the big holiday.
The ice cream truck that sells illegal fireworks all throughout the summertime plays the song that works its way into our heads every night while we cook supper.
The spindly maple trees in front of the library with their fire red leaves. Sounds of wooden bats and parents cheering their kids at the baseball field a little further on down the street, while the vendors , their carts set up with deep crimson Jamaica and golden pineapple drinks backlit by the setting sun, throwing shadows; watercolor paintings cast in Fall colors.
Thankful I can get lost in walks,
and words,
and colors.
Lived here for one year the day after tomorrow and I still look forward to coming home each day.
Thankful someone once told me, you always land on your feet at tough times like these.
Thankful for health.
Ive got some people whom I love very much, and who love me.
Got a lot to be thankful for when I take the time to think about it

The towering puppets had several connections to Northeast Los Angeles. The Puppet Master was local puppeteer extraordinaire Beth Peterson. Resident up and coming comedian Vince Caldera was inside a 13-foot tall puppet. And local high school students worked on amazing details of puppet features.
