Hey Folks:

If you live in L.A., please please please pick up the phone and call your councilman today between 2pm and 4pm to let ‘em know that it ain’t cool to completely pull the rug out from under the Department of Cultural Affairs – a municipal organization whose grants support art-making and exhibiting activities all over the big, smoggy city.

You can find a list of city councilmen and their direct phone lines on Marshall Astor. In addition, Arts for LA has put together some helpful background on the issue, along with some talking points. (Update: Here’s the LAT item..)

If you haven’t, you can also send the council a letter right here.

Gracias,
C.

On a totally unrelated note: If you’re not following the story about Fox News nut-job Glenn Beck’s new role as art professor, you are MISSING OUT. Here’s the video that started it all, in which Beck goes all apeshit about the “communist” art in Rockefeller Center. Here’s Tyler Green’s analysis of the segment. And today’s big news: the Saltz-Master has told Beck: BRING. IT. ON. Let’s get ready to ruuuuuuummmmble! (Via @hragv.)
I’ll be back at ya next week with regular C-Monstrousness. Happy Labour Day!
