• The Vincent Price Museum is on the East Los Angeles College campus in the Monterey Park neighborhood and it's not creepy (as a person might think).
• Only one of the third floor galleries was open: Form and Function in the Ancient Americas.
from the website:
"Form and Function in the Ancient Americas highlights the wide range of cultures represented in our Ancient American collection. Cultures from the Nayarit-Jalisco-Colima region of West Mexico (2000–1000 BCE) to the Chimú of Peru (900–1500 CE) are featured.
• A retrospective of art by Ofelia Esparza was the highlight of my visit. At 94 years old, she still is is active as an artist and teacher! Ofelia is yet another denizen of LA (and elsewhere, too, of course) influenced by Corita Kent.
• Since I've been including my lunches/meals on these Tuesdays blogs, I'll mention I went to the Panda Place for the first time in eighteen months. Orange Chicken and Beijing Beef was a good choice because I'd been wanting to go there for a while, but I still prefer something with more veggies and more variety. The watermelon-mango crafted drink was delicious.
