Tenth Annual Artistic License Awards a Success!
|
Thank you to everyone who supported our 10th annual Artistic License Awards on Sunday, May 21, 2017, at the William Turner Gallery in Santa Monica, California. Celebrating 30 years of services for the Los Angeles arts community, CLA recognizes individuals and organizations who have had an extraordinary impact on our communities by inspiring participation and increasing support for California arts. This year, CLA was honored to present Artistic License Awards to Annette Bening for her dedicated arts education advocacy, to US Congressman Ted Lieu for his arts advocacy from the California legislature to his current service in the United States Congress; to Self-Help Graphics & Art for its commitment to Chicano and Latino artists since 1973, and to E. Randol Schoenberg for his strong support of the arts community and dedication to artwork recovery. Please see photos from the event on our Facebook page at: ALA 2017.
