Plus LA Biodesel Brigade: Caravan to Otis. All are invited to bring their alternative fueled vehicles to Big Imagination Group, 3603 Hayden Ave, Culver City 90232 on Saturday, August 25 at 3pm. Caravan to Otis where vehicles have prime parking for viewing during opening reception. Do It Now: Live Green opens at the Ben Maltz Gallery at Otis College of Art and Design August 25 and is on view through October 20, 2007 and focuses on the home, featuring products made from renewable, recycled, and repurposed sources by individuals and companies who are manufacturing and distributing their goods with environmental integrity in our community. The more individual consumers making informed choices on how they spend their money, the sooner economic structures can evolve from a “take what you can, don’t give anything back” model to one of cyclical renewal and longevity. This exhibition is a celebration of changing consciousness and innovation that is being implemented today, not tomorrow. Do It Now: Live Green is curated by Colette Brooks of Big Imagination Group and Biobling, Meg Linton of Ben Maltz Gallery at Otis, and Yvette Roman of Beyond the Lawn.
