Community Input Workshop Scheduled

The Hollywood Seventh-day Adventist Church is pleased to announce that we have received a $10,000 Community Beautification Grant from the Office of Public Works to design and implement a community-based art mural to be located on the large wall of our property facing the 101 Freeway.

Our goal for this art mural is to represent the character and values of our community. To that end, we have planned a Community Input Workshop for Saturday, March 8, 2008 from 4:00 – 6:00 pm. At this workshop we will be soliciting input from all our community partners and any members of the community who wish to be involved.

Please join us for this Community Input Workshop and help us design a mural that will be representative of our neighborhood.

The Workshop will be followed by dinner at 6:00 pm and a benefit concert at 7:00 pm. The concert, entitled Triptych, by violinist Melinda Rice, will include works from a long past musical world (brief settings of chorales by Thomas Tallis and William Byrd, Bach’s Cello Suite I on viola), strains of contemporary exuberance, struggle (including Charles Ives’s 4th violin and piano sonata, “Children’s Day at the Camp Meeting” with Mark Menzies, Melodia and Fuga from Bartók’s sonata for solo violin), and realms of stillness that have pressed themselves into music (Arvo Pärt’s Fratres for string quartet, Spiegel im Spiegel for violin and piano, and Luigi Nono’s “Hay Que Caminar” Soñando with Andrew McIntosh).

The concert is free, but donations are strongly encouraged. All donations will go exclusively to producing the Crossroads at Hollywood mural. Please RSVP to (323) 462-0010 if you plan to eat dinner with us so we can provide the right amount of food.
