It is with great sadness that we report the death of Junior Arts director Istiharoh Glasgow. The family is asking for donations to "My Neighborhood International" that the family started with the mission of "Empowering Youth Throught the Arts" (My Neighborhood International c/o Mutahar Glasgow, 126 Lomita Drive, Mill Valley, CA 94941).
Notes:
What happened to January, 2009?
We got the word out just in time that, because of the immediate proximity to New Year's Day, few people wanted to commit to mounting an exhibition. See the January 2009 Los Feliz Art Talk newsletter.
Thanks to Dove Pressnall, however, who invited in some folks to view and discuss her ongoing exhibit of Survivors' Truths -- photographs and video of reckoning and re-awakening after the Liberian civil war.
