NRBBA to host talk by Artesia Blvd. art consultant
The Aug. 14 North Redondo Beach Business Association “Rise & Shine Redondo” event will feature a special presentation by Beau Basse, creative director for Le Basse Projects; on the subject of the three-year, $450,000 Redondo Beach public art initiative for Artesia Boulevard.
Basse looks to gather public input to help shape new placemaking artwork on the street.
The meeting will be held at the South Bay Galleria’s “Community Room” on the fourth floor, from 7:45 a.m. to 9 a.m.
The City of Redondo Beach hired LeBasse Projects in May to act as consultants for the Artesia artwork.
Arts nonprofit seeks help
Eubanks Conservatory of Music and Arts, Inc., a non-profit based in Redondo Beach, is seeking donations to support its programs through the city’s Parks & Recreation department.
“We are currently facing significant budget challenges, primarily due to insufficient support from governmental agencies that assist nonprofit organizations,” said Louis Lee, Eubanks Conservatory president. “Most of the available funding is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, which greatly reduces the chances of receiving grants once an application is submitted.”
Eubanks Conservatory looks to raise funds for their upcoming programs such as guitar lessons, a podcast class and artist development – singers, dancers, rappers.
“We kindly ask for your support in helping the youth and the community by donating to our GoFundMe link: https://gofund.me/f4cf5a09,” Lee said.
