06/10/2013: "CicLAvia Comes to the Miracle Mile"
LA's next open streets event, the June 23rd CicLAvia, will be, I believe, the first one to be centered around a theme. Called "Iconic Wilshire Boulevard," it's designed to focus attention on the architecture of the city's defining street, which runs form the heart of Downtown to the sea. CicLAvia, however, will stop at Museum Row on the Miracle Mile—just around the corner from Bicycle Fixation HQ!
It's sponsored in part by the Getty, and so, wishing to broaden the focus to art in general, I took it upon myself to recruit neighborhood friend Dave Mann, a modern dance promoter, to make the rounds of the many galleries on the boulevard and try to persuade them to open on Sunday for the event.
Several have already responded, and we expect to hear back from the others this week, so keep an eye on this space to learn about your opportunity to turn CicLAvia into an art roll as well as a street party!
I'll list all participating galleries on this blog in a week or so.
