Public Forum: Homelessness on the Westside

The Westside has been affected by the growing homeless crisis caused by poverty, unemployment, mental illness and a lack of affordable housing. Many remain homeless because they cannot access affordable housing, permanent supportive housing, medical care, or benefits. Forced to live in public spaces or their cars in neighborhoods where they are unwelcome, they often face criminal penalties for engaging in necessary activities that are a direct result of their homeless status.Adding to the crisis is the lack of housing for LA’s growing homeless veteran population, the largest in the US. Come hear the ACLU of Southern CA staff and partners discuss law and policy developments on this important issue.
 
SPEAKERS INCLUDE:
 
 Heather Maria Johnson, ACLU of Southern California
 Eve Garrow, ACLU of Southern California

Michael Giliberti

Please join us for a stimulating exhibit featuring selected works of Michael Giliberti from 2012 to 2015. Come meet the artist! A Gala Artist Opening Reception for Michael Giliberti will be on Sunday, September 6, 2015 from 11am to 1pm in Forbes Hall. The show is free and open to the public and will run through Sunday, September 27th.

Michael Giliberti is a unique multi-dimensional artist who works in wide variety of mediums from acrylics and watercolors to crayons, oils, ink and silkscreen. His style ranges from abstract realism to traditional--depending upon the subject matter and his inspiration for each piece. His works are characterized by vivid color and powerful composition.

Giliberti often begins his artistic process by taking a series of photographs of his subject matter from different angles. A rough layout of the piece is then sketched in pencil, and later filled in by multiple layers of acrylics. Most paintings combine aspects of several different photos; the color and lighting are modified in the final result, but the photos are used to reference the subject matter’s texture and detail. Giliberti states, "I paint subjects that I hope people will identify with, maybe a place they’ve visited, a memory from their past, or possibly somewhere they’d like to go."

Michael Giliberti majored in Illustration at Parsons School of design in New York City. He studied printmaking at Otis College of Art in Los Angeles, California. Prior to committing full time to his painting and printmaking, Giliberti enjoyed a successful career as a creative director in corporate advertising. His work is currently on exhibit in corporate and private collections in California, New York and abroad.

The show will run through Sunday, September 27th, and is free and open to the public on Sundays from 9am – 1pm and on weekdays by appointment. Follow the signs to free parking at the parking structure just south of Arizona and 16th. Handicapped parking is available behind the church. map
