Studio Soup/Angels Gate Cultural Center-ZOOM
2021-08-31 18:30 - 20:00 | CA
Featuring Henry Krusoe, Tidawhitney Lek, and Floyd Strickland
Sign-up for Studio Soup
A quarterly series of candid conversations about process, featuring guest artists who share their experience and practice. A﻿rtist, Peggy Reavey hosts this closer look at the unique ways artists move from original impulse to finished piece – how their work comes to be.
About the featured artists:
Henry Krusoe, a studio artist based at Angels Gate Cultural Center, is drawn to the subject of monsters. Monsters can be found or suggested in his sculpture, videos, and drawings. Krusoe challenges us to be ready for monsters – now, and in our future. ﻿
Tidawhitney Lek is the sixth of seven children of parents who survived the Khmer Rouge and emigrated to the Long Beach Cambodian Community, where she still works and lives. Lek’s large paintings depict the textures and patterns of her neighborhood and the emotions woven throughout.﻿
Floyd Strickland’s mural-sized paintings of African American culture are full of light and color. His current body of work is mainly populated with school age children who he paints to reveal to them – and the rest of us – how beautiful and brilliant they are. Strickland is based in Los Angeles, and grew up in the Watts/Compton area, which influences his work.
Studio Soup is a free, virtual event hosted by Angels Gate Cultural Center.

To make your reservation, simply put at least 1 $0 ticket in your cart and check out.
Shakespeare’s love letter about love letters where a young king and his companions swear off love to focus on intellectual pursuits. When a lovely princess and her ladies visit the palace, those lofty oaths immediately prove difficult to keep. It’s a veritable love match smorgasbord!
To make your reservation, simply put at least one $0 ticket in your cart and check out.
You’ll receive an email from boxoffice@littlefishtheatre.org with a link to the event approximately 12 hours in advance.
One by one the boys give up their vows of abstinence to pursue their loves, resulting in four different couples with four different exploits that we get to follow. And on top of that, there’s the rivalry between Don Armado and Costard for the hand of Jacquenetta. Shakespeare has never set so many love matches spinning before in a play, so make sure you keep track of who’s pairing up with whom.

Armchair ArtWalk Tour/ZOOM
2021-08-26 17:30 | CA
Hispanic Heritage Month
The San Pedro Waterfront Arts District, in collaboration with the artists who have performed or exhibited their arts in San Pedro, is moving to Last Thursdays. We are accommodating the return of the in-person First Thursday ArtWalk on September 2nd, 2021.
The next Armchair ArtWalk Tour will be held on Zoom at 5:30pm on Last Thursday, August 26th, 2021, and hosted by Gallery Azul owners, Cora Ramirez-Vasquez, and Ray Vasquez.
Gallery Azul opened its doors on November 2nd, 2006, with a group show in honor of the 3,000-year-old Mexican celebration of life “Día de Los Muertos” (Day of the Dead). The gallery continued this tradition with themed shows for Women’s History, Teacher Appreciation, and Black Heritage months. Gallery Azul is committed to finding high quality, collectible, cultural, and conceptual art to enhance the San Pedro Arts scene.
For the month of September of 2021, Gallery Azul will be celebrating Hispanic heritage by re-envisioning La Loteria cards portraying Mexicanos in various underrepresented professions. This is meant to inspire not only the Mexican community, but all Hispanic, Latinx, Chicano/a, and Afro LatinX in professions lacking diversity. We believe in supporting each other in the arts and by seeing what we can achieve, we can be inspired for the future.
La Lotería is the “Mexican bingo”, instead of calling out letters and numbers, the announcer calls out the image of the card that is chosen. Game boards are marked with beans or pennies. Once a player’s game board is filled, they shout, “Lotería!”
Register in advance for the August 26th Armchair ArtWalk Tour:
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAscuGoqjgiEtcAM487O2HuAjyhiuSIgQsU.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
We will also be live streaming from our Facebook page, where you can find videos of previous Armchair ArtWalk Tours and project progress videos.
This is a free service for our community – we are dedicated to introducing our community to the amazing artists of our region.

It’s a celebration of the human struggle for justice and happiness in the face of hardship, backed by a gorgeous score, including the beloved songs “I Dreamed a Dream,” “Bring Him Home,” “Do You Hear the People Sing?” and more.​

Richard is the play’s remarkable, charismatic, and repulsive ringmaster – he takes the audience into his confidence as he plots to kill everyone before him in line for the throne. Being seduced by Richard’s shameless treachery is one of theatre-going’s most delicious guilty pleasures.
Jealous and crippled, Richard of Gloucester wants to be King of England and uses manipulation and deceit to achieve his goal. He murders his brothers, nephews, and any opposition to become King Richard III. In the end, Henry of Richmond raises an army, kills Richard in battle, and becomes King Henry VII.
