Artists, Artisans and a Good Cause Sat. April 23

Artists and Artisans of Los Angeles open the gates to Art Villa LA on Saturday April 23  just east of Vermont at 4652 Hollywood Blvd. from 5-10pm

Stroll the streets of Los Feliz in search of your favorite fare, choice of entertainment, or play it the other way around and make the Villa your last stop.  Either way, you’ll enjoy the neighborhood while supporting a great cause. 

Villa artists will be there to entice you with aesthetic creations from 5 – 10 pm. You can also enjoy live music and there are other surprises planned, for children, too. Villa gates will open for the first time on the 23rd of April and again on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of May and the 2nd Saturday of June.  

Teddy Chambers, executive director of Art Villa LA, decided it was time to bring the artisans of LA to the Los Feliz Village so they can add their creativity to the Los Feliz experience. With support from a prominent property owner donating the space, she has worked for the last several months to bring Art Villa LA to our community, and we anticipate its opening.

Ms. Chambers hopes Art Villa LA will offer a unique, family-friendly experience.  Some of what you find may come as a surprise, but not if you know that Ms. Chambers loves color, creativity and fun (especially clowns) Visit www.itsfuntobeme.org to learn more about her long career helping people that has earned her presidential recognition by the last two administrations.  

She also loves children and has been on a quest for more than 20 years to help them avoid the trap of drugs, because addiction robs kids of color, creativity and fun.  For this reason, the purpose of Art Villa LA is to provide funding for the Stronger Families Through Drug Prevention. This is a 6-hour workshop that changes lives delivered exclusively by Narconon® Professional Drug Prevention. Visitors will have an opportunity to find out more about Art Villa LA’s Mission when they come to the Villa. We welcome the support of all Los Feliz business enterprises. Tax deductible donations can be made via itsfuntobeme.org, or by checks payable to  Life Improvement from Education. Please contact us at artvillala@gmail.com.
