Local Artist Robin Murez gives us a tour of her no-tech interactive Venice themed sculptures on street corners around Venice, Thursday, July 8, 2021. See VenicePublicArt.com for a map of her public art work and more info. Robin Murez is a public artist and instructor based in Los Angeles, California. Her sculptural installations throughout the US have won numerous awards, critical acclaim and are loved by their communities. From transforming blighted street corners to creatin...g surprising, contemplative and beautiful public spaces, Murez’ work relates seamlessly, if not unexpectedly, to its community and site, as it inspires sensory experiences and provokes conceptual investigations. Both abstract and figurative, Murez’ work is often narrative: sculptural installations that set the stage and invite viewers to be transported into the story. Aesthetics and unexpected surprises draw viewers in, they then enjoy ethereal sensations and explore conceptual beliefs. Murez works both two and three dimensionally, in a wide range of mediums including bronze, concrete, glass, stone, resin, mosaic, steel, light, paint, earth and digital media. The scale of her work is from architectural to intimate and often draws upon the cultural history of individuals and communities. #PublicArt #art #sculptures #Venice See more

Live from @hotelshangrila #SantaMonica. Reminiscent of Hollywood’s Golden Age with its curving ocean liner-inspired architecture and whimsical Art Deco design, Hotel Shangri-La at the Ocean has been welcoming guests to the beach since 1939. Boasting one of the best locations in downtown Santa Monica, the hotel is walking distance to the beach, Santa Monica Pier and iconic restaurants. @fabianlewkowicz

Falun Gong practitioners held a car rally to end the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on Sunday, October 25, 2020, Santa Monica. The practitioners claim that this pandemic could have been prevented if the CCP did not lie. Yet, ever since it took over China, hundreds of millions of people have been suffering from its endless deceptions and brutality. The demon CCP has plundered the ancient land of China, and now its terror has spread globally, affecting everyone. The Falun Gong practitioners urge us to reject their evil work and to put an end to the Chinese Communist Party! More information at endccp.com #falungong
