DOGS IN THE HOUSE
DOGS IN THE HOUSE - opening, August 17, 2019
Having a pet can be a great comfort if you are on the street. In many cases, it’s also a barrier to getting off the street. Our furry friends can also be cited as reason for an eviction. Fortunately there are a bunch of people and organizations working to address these concerns.
DOGS IN THE HOUSE showcases the work of organizations, My Dog is My Home, Housing Equality and Advocacy Resource Team, Downtown Dog Rescue, and Inner City Law Center, that utilize advocacy, and direct services to overcome the obstacles faced by low income and homeless pet owners. The exhibit will feature multimedia works by artist Helen Kim, photographs by Marissa de la Torre, and paintings by visual artist David Askew. Additional elements include a barkscape, sound installation, designed by Helen Kim and LAPD resident media archivist Henry Apodaca. Settle into a dog shaped bean bag chair to view videos or listen to photo / audio collaged stories of Skid Row residents as they talk about themselves and their pets.
Advocacy group My Dog Is My Home works nationally, (including work in LA), to increase access to shelter and housing for people experiencing homelessness with companion animals. LA based, Housing Equality and Advocacy Resource Team HEART LA, provides legal representation and advocacy to keep people and their animals housed. Downtown Dog Rescue (DDR) rescues dogs and provides services for low income pet owners in Los Angeles County. In partnership with DDR, Inner City Law Center hosts a free pet resource center in Skid Row, providing folks with much needed services, and also works to keep people and their pets together, enabling families to stay housed and decreasing the number of animals abandoned and entering the shelter system.

Visions of Freedom and Independence
OPENING RECEPTION: Thursday, April 11: 6-8pm
Through Saturday, June 29, 2019 > EXTENDED!
Open: Thursday, Friday, Saturday, 2-5pm
Visions of Freedom and Independence is a Studio 526 group art exhibit featuring the works of over 50 Skid Row neighborhood artists from Studio 526 Arts Center, working in a variety of media from painting to sculpture and multimedia art. Many of the works have been created specifically for this exhibition. Arts are “vital to the improvement of the human condition,” says artist James Michael Newton. “Society cannot exist without art,” adds another studio artist Mariana Valles. This exhibit is both an overview of current studio work, and an opportunity to explore visions of freedom and independence under community control. In addition to artwork on the walls, the exhibit will include workshops, collaborations with sister community groups, an open mic, and musical performances throughout its time at the museum.
