A quick reminder to join us this Sunday from Noon to 5 p.m. here at the Square for a fun-filled day. Visit Heritage Square Museum, along with the Lummis Home, the Los Angeles Police Museum, Gamble House and the Pasadena Museum of History for the 24th annual, FREE museum day celebrating the communities, history, culture and art found along the historic Arroyo Seco. The event will be held from to Noon to 4p.m.
Tomorrow is our annual Vintage Fashion Show & Tea! For those of you who are attending we look forward to seeing you here for a fun day. As this is a special event please note that the museum WILL NOT be open for tours tomorrow. We will only be open for the fashion show.
Also, we will be selling tickets for the show tomorrow at the gate for $20. However, you will not be able to partake in the buffet and tea as we have limited quantities. If we have extra we will announce it at the show after all of our guests who paid in advance has had a chance to eat. Thank you for your understanding.
Several weeks ago Master Gardner Nick Federoff visited the museum which was used for his gardening segment that runs on KCAL 9 every Saturday morning at 7:50 am. Here is the first one that aired last Saturday morning: http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/video/8639243-green-expert-nick-federoffs-tips-on-vertical-gardening/#.UUX1R2UfFSA.facebook. There will be another one this Saturday at the same time. Enjoy!
A friend to Heritage Square Museum, Congressman Becerra asked us to announce a great opportunity for high school artists.
Since 1982, high school students have participated nationwide in the Congressional Student Art Competition. Students will have the chance to compete for an all expense paid trip to Washington D.C. to participate in a national ceremony as well as other prizes. The winning artist will also be a part of an elite group of students who will have their artwork exhibited in the United States Capitol for one year.
Please visit Congressman Becerra’s website at http://www.becerra.house.gov for details. You will find a video clip of last year’s first prize winner describing the experience as well as other important information like the competition guidelines and release form. Our theme is “Los Angeles: What does your community look like?” and the deadline for submission of art pieces is Friday, March 22, 2013 at 5:00 p.m.
