ART ALONG THE RIVER - The Artists of Frogtown
Art Along the River, directed by Eric Villicana, takes a look at some of the artists living and working in the creative enclave of Frogtown. For over 50 years, this sliver of a neighborhood couched between Silver Lake, the 5 Freeway and the LA River has attracted artists and craftspeople. We were curious as to "why." So, we asked artists and residents alike "what is it about this place that attracted you and what makes you stay."

    Mr. Nowlin was my art and advanced painting teacher at Cathedral High School over 30 years ago. He was instrumental in furthering my appreciation and joy of art and jazz. My son Ezra is now a blossoming artist and loves watching Mr. Nowlin talk about his art perspectives and insight. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing wisdom and knowledge.

    And don't forget mejo! Our people built those monuments globally. The step pyramid in the Yucatan has a secret I learned simply because were related to those people who made them. The one that has two snakes that light up once a year , equinox or something. The object was not to walk up the steps , the object of the whole pyramid was to walk down the steps. I walked down the steps , and how i know , there is an anomaly at the bottom.
