Announcing the:

Fourth Annual Inglewood Open Studios

The thriving Inglewood Art Community in partnership with local non-profit, Inglewood Cultural Arts (ICA), hosts the 4^th annual Inglewood Open Studios Tour, Saturday November 13^th and Sunday November 14^th from 1-6pm. www.inglewoodopenstudios.blogspot.com The public is invited to enjoy and share in the experience of personally touring the art studios of Inglewood’s own local artists that include established and emerging, self taught, educators and educated artists from local art colleges, including a large number of graduates from nearby Otis College of Art and Design. Artist involvement has more than doubled this year from 17 artists last year to 39 artists currently. Centrally located, Inglewood is bordered by the LAX International Airport, and surrounded by the nearby Cities of El Segundo, Playa Del Rey, Marina Del Rey, Westchester, Culver City and Torrance, nestled in the center of Los Angeles County.

There will be a number of events surrounding the Inglewood Open Studios Tour such as the group show of all participating artists, to be held at the Gallery located within the new Beacon Art Building at 808 N La Brea. The group show will have its own opening night, Saturday November 13^th 7-10pm and will be on view for the month of November. Both Saturday and Sunday, enjoy live music, impromptu performances, video screenings and be sure to sample food from our delicious local restaurants.

The 2010 Inglewood Open Studios Tour will be dedicated to the beloved late Dustin Shuler. For those who didn't know Dustin, he was a long time Inglewood artist, a prolific visionary, loved by many, and an example for all artists. He was well known for his large-scale public installations like "Spindle", and "Pinned Butterfly". He participated in both the 2008 and 2009 Inglewood Open Studios Tours and thanks to his wife, Karen Shuler, his studio will again be open for the tour this year.
