For those of you living in Los Angeles, looking for some art, music and culture, M Herrington is an eclectic new Pop Up gallery on Abbot Kinney that features stylish contemporary art, local musicians and a variety of events between now and June 30, 2012.
Curator and artist Mel Herrington has been able to bring a fine art aesthetic and marry it seamlessly to the cultural hip-ness that is uniquely ‘Abbot Kinney.’ Her work features mixed media paintings that oscillate between the representational and the abstract. Herrington says, “I wanted to offer the opportunity for experimentation and presentation of art in all disciplines while supporting women in art. This gallery sustains the emerging and established artist’s role in society providing a forum for critical dialogue with their audiences. I
t is a relationship cultivated through education and innovative programming and I’m pleased to be able to share this with Westsiders.â€
In conjunction with Tailfish Music PR the gallery will feature several local musicians for Art and Friday Night Music. The first show featured singer / songwriter Rie Sinclair (whose songs have been featured on “Vampire Diaries†and “Californication†) and the latest showcased the Splendido Allstars featuring multi-talented singer/trombone player Alanna Vicente. Upcoming artists include Anthony Polcino performing for the Jewish World Watch’s Walk To End Genocide, Julian Rios III, Blake Cusack, and Shay Astar performing at Melissa Herrington’s Solo Exhibition.
