Curley Taylor and Zydeco Trouble-Alvas Showroom
2019-07-14 16:00 - 17:00 | Alvas Showroom, 1417 W. Eighth Street, San Pedro, CA, 90732, United States
Alvas Showroom is extremely pleased and excited to be hosting Curley Taylor and Zydeco Trouble, one of the great Creole artists to come out of southwest Louisiana since the famed Clifton Chenier mainstreamed Zydeco in the 1980’s. He is a native of Grand Couteau, Louisiana, a town nestled in the prairies and bayous rich with Creole music and culture. Taylor has released five CD’s, making him one of the most prolific artists from the region. He has toured with the world-renowned Clifton Chenier, Geno Delafose, CC Adcock, Steve Riley, and many other names in the genre. Taylor brings the steaminess of the bayous and the grittiness of New Orleans together in a uniquely infectious, bluesy style of hard-driving, upbeat Nouveau Zydeco, you’ll remember for a lifetime. Come join the crowd at Alvas, as Curley brings his BIG, high-energy rollicking sound that is guaranteed to bring down the house. Dancer or not, you’re going to love this show.
“I make Feel Good Zydeco Soul Music for the masses of people,” Taylor says. When asked what makes him keep up with his grueling 200 gigs a year tour schedule, he smiles. “I continue playing and touring because I enjoy what I do-and that’s spreading love and happiness through music. I want to keep growing the brand, and I’m proud to be a Country Boy from Louisiana!”
Since this is dance music, we’re opening up the dance floor for this event! As a special treat for Alvas patrons, Zydeco dance instructor, Karen Redding, will be providing a short dance lesson at 3:30 PM so everyone can get in on the fun! She has taught dance at the Los Angeles Music Center, the Ford, and the Irvine Barclay Theater, as well as all the Southern California Zydeco festivals for the past 20 years. Redding is one of the finest Zydeco dance instructors outside Louisiana and she is offering a one time only special price of only $5 per person for the lesson to Alvas’ patrons, payable in cash at the door.
Feel free to bring your own food and non-alcoholic beverages with you. In keeping with true Louisiana style, share the par-taay! Bring your friends and family! Laissez les bon temps rouler!

EDGE TO EDGE 2-The Lofts
2019-07-14 12:00 - 15:00 | The Loft, 401 S Mesa St, San Pedro, CA, 90731
Opening Reception:
Venice Institute of Contemporary Art
As a continuation of our study of the effect of innumerable geographical, political, idealogical and physical borders on various peoples, we present Edge to Edge 2, a survey of art happening now in Mexico and Southern California. Curated by Juri Koll of ViCA and Pablo Llana from Mexico, all of the works from Mexico are exhibiting for the first time here, and most, if not all, of the artists from each respective geographic region have not shown together before.
In order to effect a true conversation, works have been chosen without regard to theme or representation of borders per se. Some may comment on it peripherally, perhaps, but that is not the theme – in an of itself – of this exhibition. Open conversation requires respect, honesty, and due consideration in order to achieve benefit. That’s partly what this exhibition is about.
Artists in this show include César Bernal. Anonymous Boh, MB Boissonnault, Cosimo Cavallaro, Antonio Chaurand, Sulamit Elizondo, Tania Esponda, Juri Koll, Pablo Llana, Ramiro Martinez Plasencia, Jorge Moedano, Diego Narvaez, Robert Nelson, Paola Pineda, Jorge Pinzon, Ulises Platas, Erika Rascon, Catherine Ruane, Sonja Schenk, Nizzac Vallejo, Gustavo Villegas, Ádrian White and others TBA.
The exhibition travels to Mexico following its premiere in the U.S..

2019-07-14 12:00 - 15:00 | Michael Stearns Studio at The Loft, 401 S Mesa St, San Pedro, CA, 90731
Artist’s Reception
Nancy Voegeli Curran’s mixed media abstract forms map not only a visual space, but a psychological and emotional space as well. They refer to our complex and tenuous relationship with the natural world at present and its overall fragility. Through a build-up of layers, tension grows as dualities such as chaos and order, growth and decay, and containment and release are explored.

The Annual San Pedro 4th of July Community Observance will be held Thursday, July 4, 2019 at Angels Gate Park, home of the Korean Friendship Bell. The Korean Bell, one of San Pedro’s most enduring landmarks, plays a key role in the ceremonial observance. The ceremony will begin at 10:30 AM with a processional to the bell led by percussion drummers. The ceremony includes the posting of the colors and remarks by elected officials and members of the Korean community.
To conclude the ceremonial portion of the day, the assembled guest speakers and dignitaries will lead the audience in reciting the names of the 13 original American states. As they read the names, the representatives of the San Pedro and Korean Communities will strike a battering ram into the massive bell, ringing once for each state. The Korean Bell is rung officially on four other occasions each year – Korean Independence Day (August 15th) Constitution Day (September 21st), New Year’s Eve and Korean American Day (January 13th).
Angels Gate Park is located at 3601 South Gaffey Street in San Pedro. The free event, conducted every year since the Korean Bell’s installation in 1976 is sponsored by the Office of Councilman Joe Buscaino; the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks; the San Pedro Chamber of Commerce; and the Korean Friendship Bell Preservation Committee (KFBPC).
For further information on this event, please contact the San Pedro Chamber of Commerce, at (310) 832-7272 or visit the Chamber’s website at San Pedro Chamber of Commerce.
