END OF SUMMER PARTY
Celebrating over 5 years in business!
Saturday September 13th
8:30pm - ???


We're throwing a party to say THANK YOU LOS ANGELES! We've been in business over five years now, proving all the naysayers wrong, showing that independent business can not only survive in LA, but thrive. The truth is it wouldn't be possible if it weren't for you; one of the strongest artist communities in the world.
Art is alive in LA, and we're just happy to be here to share it with you!

Now, some of you may have gotten used to our annual BBQs, but don't worry this year's celebration is sure to satisfy.
We're teaming up with Purple Circle (our neighborhood salon) to throw an end of summer bash. It's going to be a great time, so feel free to come down Saturday night and have some fun with us! There'll be plenty of friendly faces, good beer, and great music.
Can't wait to see you there.

ART FOR LIFE: A benefit for Save The Children
Thank you all for making this event a success!
A bunch of you braved the cold to come out for some good beer and great art and music. Thank you so much; because of your participation we were able to raise over $4,000 for our chosen charity.
We are already looking forward to our next event this summer commemorating Blue Rooster's 5 year anniversary. Hot summer fun! More info will be posted as we get closer to the warmer weather.

Saturday December 8th 1pm - Midnight
2000 N. Figueroa LA, CA 90026
100% of the proceeds from this event will be donated!

Blue Rooster Art, in association with Landmark Inc, are very proud to present this event: Art for Life. $5 at the door will get you access to live painting, live music, a silent art auction (where there are sure to be some steals!), free give aways, and generally a good time. And the best part of it is that every penny of your money will go to children in need! This event is a collective celebration of art and life. But, sorry kids, 21 and over only.

So whats going on?
First off we are going to be opening the doors at 1pm for anyone interested in joining us in creating a mural. The 50'+ wall we will be building will be open to everyone who wants to participate. The goal is to have fun and see what happens when a bunch of random artists come together to make one (big) cohesive thing. So, bring some paint and come get down. We will have some supplies for all to use if you feel like painting (or drawing, or whatever) but dont feel like lugging your stuff.
Once the sun goes down, then the party starts. Beer, wine and BBQ all day, bands at sundown. DJ all night. Need we say more? Having fun for a good cause.
On top of it all, a number of artists have been kind enough to donate art to be auctioned off. There are sure to be some steals for any collectors out there.
