Digital Signage Construction

227e8abc-2a33-4a4f-825e-062f9693c4c3.jpg

Maker City LA will be temporarily shutting down our event venues, podcast, conference room bookings, and filming requests for the Summer, starting May 20th, 2019. Construction improvements will be adding digital displays to the exterior of our building. Like with all things construction, this will be a multi week process and the date of completion is yet to be known.

We are anticipating disruptions during the initial stages of the work and for these reasons, we are closing our calendar for bookings and audio recordings. We will resume our normal services once construction ends.

Feel free to contact us directly (213) 634-0920 for an update as to the next estimated date of normal operation. Thank you for your patience and continued support during this phase.


Full Body- Lygia Clark

Full Body is a series of exhibitions curated by CalArts artist in residence Tatiana Vahan. The series focuses loosely on the subject of the body and takes place between July and October 2016 on the 11th floor of The REEF in downtown Los Angeles. The first exhibition took place on Saturday, July 9th with a re-performance of a work by the late Brazilian artist Lygia Clark, titled Viagem (Voyage). Originally performed in 1973 and presented on Saturday by artist Julia Kouneski, the work involves wrapping, carrying, then unwrapping a body with contemporary news.

This new 3 week class at The School of Light will help you get the most from your camera, be it a simple point and shoot, a classic film camera, or a professional level DSLR.

No need to be intimidated by the multiple functions of your camera, this class will help you take control of aperture, shutter speed and ISO settings and put them to work taking better photographs.

Practical exercises and hands on instruction make this more of a fun road trip and less of a crash course, so come along for the ride and elevate your vision.
