London's Horse Hospital in Danger of ClosingThe Horse Hospital will be forced to close if it does not meet, or successfully contest, an excessive 333% rent increase from January 2020.

Raw Vision Short Film CompetitionBelow is Adriana Baltazar's entry into the 2019 Raw Vision short film competition. Artist Veria Williams lives and works in LA. “I love my work. I even do a lot of my work at home. I did my work a long time ago. I went to Carver (high school) and I couldn’t keep up with the rest of the classes and then my mother put me in this school here.” Veria is a bold woman at 71, she is never one to hold back her emotions, opinions, and stories. She loves to experiment with materials, filling the large work surface, often layering ink pours over brush strokes and pastel haze. Williams is a professional artist with developmental disabilities who has been working out of the ECF Art Centers' South L.A. studio for over 20 years. She is represented by DAC Gallery, where she regularly exhibits. ECF Art Centers is an adult program of the Exceptional Children's Foundation, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization that provides services to adults and children with developmental disabilities. In this short process video, Veria Williams works and describes the subject of her mixed media artwork. To see the rest of the short films, click here. |
