Tibetan artist Yuan Miao visits the Agape family awaiting her upcoming art exhibition
Sunday,
August 4th, Miao "returned home" and visited
her dear friends, Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith and his wife Dr. Rickie Byars,
co-founders of Agape International Spiritual Center. When they first met, they
had immediate affinity for each other, each recognizing the other as a member
of Guan Yin's Divine "team." Upon feeling the transformative
power of Miao's mantric voice, Reverend Michael invited her to host a third
Phoenix Rising mantric concert at Agape for the benefit of the local community.
They knew they would eventually meet again and with divine timing and collaborate
to assist in our collective elevation of consciousness.
All are invited to Yuan Miao's first U.S. art show at Ethos Gallery August 22, 2013 at 7 p.m.. Share in the powerful vibrational energy! May we all
continue to grow in love, compassion and wisdom. Ya la suo!

Ethos hosts VIP event to launch limited edition print with RISK for the SSMF
Sunset Strip Music Festival Partners With RISK, Ethos Gallery For Limited Edition Prints
Prints Celebrate The Sunset Strip’s Music And Art Influence
The Sunset Strip is known for its long history of influencing music and the arts. This year, in celebration of this history, the Sunset Strip Music Festival (SSMF) has partnered with Ethos Gallery and graffiti artist RISK to release special limited edition SSMF poster prints.
“Sunset Strip is California to me. I have so many good memories there. From sneaking into shows when I was in high school, to business meetings as a young adult, to having been celebrated as an accomplished artist for painting a guitar for my heroes, The Doors, last year. Being the first of many great artists to create an annual limited edition poster for the Sunset Strip Music Festival is truly an honor! The Strip continues to be a chronological calendar of highlights in my life,” stated RISK.
"Ethos Gallery is proud to spearhead the first SSMF limited edition print with world renowned graffiti artist Risk. Believing in the power of art to commemorate the important moments in our lives was our inspiration for this project. We hope this small piece of the festival will serve as a reminder to all who attended of the magic they experienced in 2013," noted Lisa Falcone, co-founder of Ethos Gallery with Eddie Donaldson.
The 18”x24” prints are numbered and signed by RISK. They will be available online beginning August 1 at www.buckshotprints.com for $100 per print. Only 200 prints are available.
“It is exciting to work with RISK and Ethos Gallery and celebrate the Sunset Strip Music Festival through art. From photography and concert posters to street art, art and music have coexisted on the boulevard for decades. The special prints are a great way to celebrate these two art forms and the music festival,” noted SSMF co-producer and The Roxy owner Nic Adler.
Ethos Gallery is also participating in the August 3 SSMF street festival by curating a live art exhibit. Street artist Gregory Siff will be among the artists participating in painting one of the 10-foot-tall Gibson GuitarTown art guitars, which will be auctioned for charity.
The all-day street festival will feature performances by Linkin Park, Wale, Awolnation, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Logic, Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh, Asher Roth, Finch, Street Drum Corps and more. Proceeds from the festival will benefit Music For Relief, the nonprofit organization Linkin Park founded to support disaster relief, provide aid to survivors of natural disasters and support the prevention of such disasters via environmental programs. For information about the festival and tickets, visithttp://www.ssmf.com/.
ABOUT RISK
In a career spanning 27 years, RISK has impacted the evolution of graffiti as an art form in Los Angeles and worldwide. RISK gained major notoriety for his unique style and pushed the limits of graffiti further than any writer in L.A. had before: He was one of the first writers in Southern California to paint freight trains, and he pioneered writing on “heavens,” or freeway overpasses. At the peak of his career he took graffiti from the streets and into the gallery with the launch of the Third Rail series of art shows, and later parlayed the name into the first authentic line of graffiti-inspired clothing.

Ethos Gallery and LAYoga Magazine present Art Contest for New Green Community in LA
Enter our ART CONTEST to become a Brand Ambassador for Valhalla CA and help build a better world.
Valhalla California is taking on the challenge to build a green, eco-conscious self-sustainable community right here in our home city of Los Angeles. There are already some of these off the grid self reliant communities in places like lush, green Oregon where it seems a natural fit. Valhalla says we can free ourselves from the power company and food industry right here in the middle of our concrete jungle. All it takes is a little awareness and the support of some creative leaders.
First order of business? Valhalla needs a new look. Ethos is hosting a city wide art contest to find the artist with the best new logo for Valhalla California. Think green, think LA, think freedom and think future! The winner will be awarded the title of "Creative Brand Ambassador" for Valhalla California and his/her logo will be used on all marketing materials and merchandising for the company. You will also be featured in LAYoga Magazine's online art section!
The Valhalla agenda is to build a community of homes in LA that are in complete harmony with nature. They are affordable, and made from 100% recyclable materials. They produce food, renew energy, and recycle water. The home's temperature is maintained by thermal mass. There are zero carbon footprint qualities and zero emissions. Valhalla makes it possible for everyone to enjoy sustainable, self-sufficient housing and paves the way for an emerging mindful, eco-conscious global community.
Why ART? Because Ethos Gallery believes in the power of art to spread a message. We know everyone wants to be free of unnecessary bills and we want to make sure they know how to get there. Through artist support, city wide murals, and community events we plan to get the knowledge to the masses the only way we know how.... from the artist to the world.
All artist submissions should be emailed to Ethos Gallery at 4artmedia@gmail.com.
Come meet Valhalla and get more info at MELROSE ART RIDE July 14, 2013 from 3pm-7pm at Ethos Gallery. 7763 Melrose Avenue, LA 90046 or email 4artmedia@gmail.com

Linkin Park Singer Mike Shinoda Paints Giant Gibson Guitar at Ethos Studio for SSMF
As the much anticipated Sunset Strip Music Festival approaches, Ethos is gearing up to curate the art for the annual event. This year, artist and musician Mike Shinoda will be headling the show with his band Linkin Park, as well as representing his charity "Music For Relief" to benefit tornado victims in Oklahoma.
Shinoda is painting a 10 foot Gibson Guitar which will make its debut at Hornburg Jaguar on July 17th along with the other Gibsons also painted by various artists and musicians. The pieces will then travel to the SSMF and be on display on Sunset Blvd. during the festival. They will finally make their way to Bonhams & Butterfield to be auctioned for the Music for Relief Charity.
The singer, who says he's been painting longer than he's been involved in music, attended art school in Pasadena. He told us that even though his music career panned out, he continued on to finish his education and received a Bachelors Degree in Arts.
Although the guitar is still a work in progress, it already shows potential as a great showpiece for appreciating fans. The Ethos Artist Studio continues to be popular location for great artists in all genres. Ethos Gallery has taken on the entire festival and will offer a 50 foot mural, another Gibson to be painted live on site, the custom painted entrance way to the festival, and various street art installations around the event. We will update our blog as the artists are confirmed.
The Sunset Strip Music Festival is August 3, 2013. www.sunsetstripmusicfestival.com

Ethos Appointed Arts & Culture Ambassador for Proposed Sustainable Community in LA
Valhalla California is a new organization taking on the challenge of building a green, sustainable, off-the-grid community in the heart of Los Angeles. "Off the Grid" homes are not connected to the DWP or Gas Co. Instead, they are completely in harmony with the environment and have the ability to sustain themselves. Each home recycles water, self heats, and uses solar energy...not to mention the communities ability to sustain a "food forest" and grow their own vegetables.
Sustainable communities have been proven successful in places like Oregon, where nature seems to lend itself to such an existence. According to Valhalla, this conscious way of life is possible in the center of metropolitan areas, and they aim to prove it.
Ethos has signed on to create an awareness campaign through street art. Creating murals and installations around the city is the first order of business to reach a large audience and gain grassroots support for this incredible undertaking.
I sat down with Valhalla's Courtney Carter to get the low down on what this new venture is all about.
Ethos: How did you become associated with the Valhalla movement?
Carter: I had been feeling fed up with our way of life. It seems as if we are focused on climbing the corporate ladder, and in doing so, few are happy. We become trapped. Most time is spent generating profit for a business, causing care for personal well-being to fall to the wayside. Five days of the week are spent in relative isolation. Fear of a lack of security binds us to this cycle. I knew this wasn't the future. I felt compelled to take a road trip to New Mexico for Thanksgiving and ended up in Taos. That was where I first saw the Earthship community: a conscious community had already developed, and so few knew about it! Ideas began to flow from that point forward.
Ethos: What is Valhalla's main objective for LA?
photos of sample green housing
Ethos: What is Valhalla's main objective for LA?
Carter: We want the Los Angeles area to see how feasible and affordable it is to make an environmentally harmonious change. Our entire process will be documented and posted online for free. We plan to empower individuals to come together to create a strong community and healthy future. We all share the same city and planet. It is time to treat it with respect to ensure quality of life for future generations. Los Angeles can act as a model of progressive eco-conscious change and influence a positive transformation for the entire nation.
Ethos: How much will it cost the average person to build a green Valhalla home?
Ethos: How much will it cost the average person to build a green Valhalla home?
Carter: The cost of building materials for a (1) 15 foot Eco-Dome with (4) 8 foot bedrooms typically varies between $13-$15,000. This can be built by 3-5 people in a little over a month.
The cost of materials for a food forest of 85 square meters is about $600, (including irrigation but excluding plants). Once a food forest is established, it requires minimal management.
The Eco-Dome is sturdier than conventional housing and capable of withstanding natural disasters. It is designed to produce all utilities upon completion. The result is a self-sustainable structure with minimal bills.
Costs vary by land quality, as each parcel is different. There are other forms of regenerative housing that have not yet passed building code in LA County because they utilize alternative materials. An additional aspect of our mission is the eventual opportunity for these models to be approved.
Ethos: What does it mean to be "off the grid" in Los Angeles?
Carter: You are self-reliant by living off the grid in Los Angeles. Your home feeds you, produces solar or wind energy, recycles rainwater, and regulates room temperature through thermal mass. You have internet and are connected to the community at large. You have taken the initiative to free yourself of many modern-day stressors to focus your energy on what you find is most important.
Ethos: How can supporters contribute to the Valhalla dream?
Carter: There are various costs associated with forming an influential awareness campaign to create a conscious change. We depend on donations, sponsorship and support from those who share the same vision. This is a team effort! We also welcome collaboration and creative contribution from all interested in the movement. Everyone can offer their own unique skill-set to aid in its evolution.

PHOBIK SOLO SHOW JUNE 27 PRESENTED BY ETHOS AT JARRITOS POP UP
Phobik continues to be an Ethos best seller with his unique style of art and beautiful attention to detail. He sold so much at our opening reception, we asked him to reload the gallery to get us through to the end of the exhibition. His audience, we've noticed, is a broad range of art lovers. Girls gravitated toward these birds, sleeping animals, and beautiful Asian pieces....
And the guys bought his spray cans and super heros...
Phobiks upcoming solo show entitled "Gods and Angels" will be based on Mythology. You can be sure he will have something for everyone. Don't miss his first solo show.

Sebastian Walker New Mural in Fame Yard
French artist Sebastian Walker has been working on this latest gem in the outdoor Fame Yard. Walker, who recently participated in a gallery show at Ethos, nonchalantly took our piece book home to create a pen drawing for us. We were so blown away by what he did, he earned himself a wall.
Art like this should really be big.

6th Grade Street Artist posts art around school
A sixth grade student who was inspired by her parent's street art collection has been making statements at her school with her own brand of street art. This piece entitled "Plastic Lock Down" was inspired by her school's lock down drills intended to help prepare students for an intruder on campus. Nowadays, schools at every level are becoming conscious of the need to educate and protect students in the event of a dangerous encounter.
The student, who wishes to remain anonymous, feels that the lock down drills are only creating intense fear and panic among the kids only to find out it is merely a practice drill. "Plastic lock down" is a message meant to express her feelings about being subjected to a fear that is in her opinion, not real.
Although I support the drills and feel they are unfortunate but necessary these days, I also support her opinion and applaud her for expressing herself. Stay Up!

Plastic Jesus Wall Stolen from Fame Yard
It seems someone went through a lot of trouble to get his hands on a Plastic Jesus last night during the art show that was happening just down the block. The wall, which had been up only a few weeks, was bolted securely into an iron fence in the Fame Yard just outside of Ethos Gallery on Melrose.
The Plastic Jesus art show was happening just a few blocks away at the Jarritos Pop Up Gallery while this seemingly well organized heist was taking place.
Taking street art has become a controversial subject. Art that has been left intentionally for people to enjoy around the neighborhood will eventually disappear. There are several people on the hunt for such gems, the idea behind it being if they don't take it...someone will.
But I must say it crosses the line when it becomes a premeditated and organized plan to remove art with power tools knowing the artist, the fans, and the gallery are all preoccupied for the night.
I suppose if you want a Plastic Jesus THAT bad, you've earned it.

OG SLICK GOES QUICK
These mini originals by Slick are already sold out along with almost everything else he created for the "Little Things" art show at Ethos. LA art lovers love Slick and give him the utmost respect for his artistic style as well as his deep roots in graffiti. One of the original "Kings of LA", Slick was there from the start...thus the very appropriate and well deserved title "OG". His current company "DISSIZIT" is a successful clothing and lifestyle brand created by Slick and continues to embody Los Angeles graffiti culture. Most recently known for his LA Mickey Mouse hands, he continues to be one of the most sought after artists for his unique and recognizable work.
This piece is all we have left for our May 31st closing reception and it will certainly SELL. Entitled "Messy Elliot" this original gem is only $300....what Ethos would definitely deem, an "OG Steal".
www.dissizit.com
Septerhed at Ethos "Little Things" Closing Reception Show May 31, 2013
This beautiful 6" x 6" mini art piece entitled "Snuggling Buddies" will be available at Ethos Gallery's reception this Friday night at 7 p.m. The "Little Things" show which features miniature art to highlight the idea of remembering the little things in life, has been a huge success for Ethos; the main reason being these petite gems are extremely affordable.
The artist, Septerhed, was kind enough to get up outside in the Fame Yard with this not so little mural that has stolen the hearts of spectators. We are proud to work with such a talented artist...he brings a unique blend of color, light and positive energy to our corner of the block.

SNYDER GETS UP IN FAME YARD WITH NEW MURAL
Snyder paints a mural in the Sportie LA Fame Yard to support a message about children's health. Hint Water products which contain NO SUGAR have recently started a street art initiative for their popular slogan "Drink Water Not Sugar". The company wishes to generate awareness about the high sugar content in both sodas and juices marketed to kids. They are taking a stand against childhood obesity and diabetes which has reached epidemic proportions in the U.S.
The mural, which depicts a child pulling the curtain back on the various popular, colorful, sugar-filled drink containers, reveals that behind the packaging veil there exists nothing but piles of sugar. Snyder allowed this young visitor to help out, which opened up a conversation with the boy and his mother about the dangers of a high sugar diet for kids.
The Fame Yard has dedicated this wall to Hint Water for a period of time to support their message. Hint water continues to support street artists and the community with their health conscious products.

Sacred Geometry hits the streets
Design team Love Magnificent brought in this stencil as they get ready for the first ever Sacred Geometry street art initiative to hit the city. The stencil, the geometric pattern for "LOVE" is the first in a series of 100 hologram shapes available at their upcoming art show at Ethos Gallery June 8, 2013.
The LOVE stencil was designed by Love Magnificent but originated in Bali. The shape was "channeled" by Astrea Sri Ana, the artist of origin for this groundbreaking art exhibition.
Using chalk paint so the team neither vandalizes nor harms the environment, the street team plans to hit locations all around LA to spread their message of LOVE and UNITY. The show, cleverly titled "Blueprints for the New Human" will educate Los Angeles about the holograms and the power they have to shift consciousness to a positive direction.
We found this LOVE hologram cuddled up to a "cocaine" stencil on Melrose behind the Jarritos Pop Up Gallery. We guess its as good a spot as any.
