St Elmo Village Summer fun!
We are celebrating our 47th year of creative community enrichment with a Village Art Exhibit and Sale featuring artists who live at the Village as well as artists who create work at our
workshops.The show will encompass painting, ceramic, photography,
assemblage art and more by emerging and established artists from Los Angeles and beyond, coming together in the spirit of creativity and human experience. We invite you to join us for the reception!Where: St. Elmo Village // 4830 St. Elmo Dr. in Mid-City, LA
When: Sunday, July 10, 2016 from 2 pm to 5 pmThe exhibit will run through August 5, 2016, followed by our annual Summer Children’s Art Exhibit on Saturday, August 13, 2016.
Our crowdfunding campaign has garnered $2,285 towards updating computers to teach youth tech-related skills and developing new art and educational programs. We still need your support in keeping the Arts accessible to all people so that they can, in turn, go out into the world as happier, more whole and creative individuals. If you have visited the Village or taken part in its workshops, you understand the importance of art-making as a creative and personal outlet for self-expression. We are asking those who have the means to support the Arts by making a contribution through Crowdrise or sending a check payable to St. Elmo Village. Thank you in advance for your support. We hope to see you this summer.
In gratitude,

The Lula Washington Contemporary Dance Foundation was founded in 1980 by Lula and Erwin Washington to provide a creative outlet for dance artists in south Los Angeles. The founding mission is to build a world class contemporary modern dance company that travels worldwide with contemporary modern dance works that reflect African-American history and culture.
BUYEPONGO, meaning “to cause a ruckus,” is a high-energy creative musical group with an infectious sound that pushes crowds to dance. The group’s pulse and power is built around the drum and guacharaca (pronounced: wah cha rah ca) giving them an upbeat tropical flare deeply rooted in the Caribbean coast of South and Central America. This Pan-Latin fusion takes its cues from traditional “roots” music of Colombia, Haiti, Belize, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic. Their arrangements are unique, full-of-life, and infused with jazz and funk creating a vibrant sound that seamlessly fuses styles to its own modern Afro-Latin groove, self-titled Buyangú.

Join Us Rain or Shine – WSIA Beautification Along Washington Blvd. – Sat. 4/9, 9a-12p
This is the final reminder… and we really could use some help!
We have a handful of volunteers who have offered to support our beautification efforts along Washington Blvd., but we need about 30 people to make this go quickly, and we are definitely short of that number.
Please come out and support the neighborhood and our Wellington Square Improvement Association. We will be planting and mulching the parkway between Wellington Rd. and Victoria Ave. We will also be doing a cleanup – picking up trash, etc. along the entire stretch of Washington Blvd. in Wellington Square.
All neighbors are encouraged to come out and help. We will be joined by KYCC for the planting, as part of a project funded by MINC. The plants have been generously supplied by Lore Hilburg from Buckingham Rd.
Any questions, please contact Michael Sonntag at (323) 951-1113 or via email at info@wellingtonsquare.net.
Anyone who is able to start even earlier (8AM) – we need a few volunteers to go to Lore Hilburg’s house (1943 Buckingham Rd.) to prep the cardboard we will be using for weed abatement.
We certainly hope to see all of you out there – even in the rain! We need to get the plants into the ground, and this is the last opportunity to get the support of KYCC until July.
