Show Me Love, Bob Baker

By Julio Panisello □ We're happy to host this week the opening reception of the paintings we did at As We Dwell to raise funds for Justice Rising. The show, Painting For Justice, will open this Friday May 18th, 6-9pm, at As We Dwell, 1131 E 5th St. □ We're painting at Watts Towers this week! Come join us. □ We're excited to host a painting workshop on June 7th in the Wework space at the stunning Gas Tower building in DTLA. Book here to save a spot. Show Me Love Of the hundreds of painting themes we used as inspiration in our painting practice, I don't remember ever bringing two people kissing. There are so many examples of 'kiss paintings' in art history, starting with the most famous, Klimt's The Kiss. But this Thursday is the International Day Against Homophobia, ironically acronymed IDAHO, so I'm going to bring images of same-sex couples kissing for our very first kiss painting assignment. □ OPEN CALL to Roofless Painters who attend the painting workshops this week with this assignment to have the art work featured on our Roofless Gallery. ✅Click here to book Painting Workshop, MON May 14th 12-2pm, WEHO, Wework La Brea.   ✅Click here to book Painting Workshop, TUES May 15th 12-2pm, DTLA, Cross Campus.   ✅Click here to book Painting Workshop, WED May 16th 12-2pm, EL SEGUNDO, Cross Campus.   Bob Baker Marionette Theater III Thank you for our last TWO sold-out workshops.
