    For Immediate Release: March 27, 2019 Contact: Nancy Lee, Senior Manager, Public Relations, 310-443-7016, [email protected] K.A.M.P. (KIDS ART MUSEUM PROJECT) 10th Anniversary of Annual Kids Benefit at the Hammer Museum Sunday, May 19, 2019 │ 10AM-2PM (Los Angeles, CA)— On Sunday, May 19, 2019 the Hammer Museum will celebrate the tenth anniversary of K.A.M.P. (Kids Art Museum Project), a one-of-a-kind fundraising event imagined by artists for kids and their families. Painters, sculptors, and artists of all kinds lead inventive hands-on workshops for children, and the event is held outdoors throughout the museum courtyard and terraces. Celebrity friends will read their favorite children’s books to an audience of story lovers of all ages, and DJ Chocolatebarbangs will spin music throughout the event. $125 early-bird tickets are available until March 31, after which tickets will be $150. Over the past ten years, proceeds from K.A.M.P. has raised more than $1.4 million for Hammer Kids, which offers free events to over 60,000 children and families throughout the year. Hammer Museum Director Ann Philbin said, "It's been a joy to see K.A.M.P. grow into one of our signature Hammer fundraising events, a family-friendly celebration of art and artists. Most importantly, we've seen how the money raised supports the rest of our free kids programming throughout the year at the museum." This year’s participating artists include: Math Bass, Alex Beccera, Louise Bonnet, Carolina Caycedo, Sam Falls, Haas Brothers, John Houck, Alex Israel, Patrick Jackson, Patrick Martinez, Lara Schnitger, Alake Shilling, Samantha Thomas, and Daniel Winter.

  • Located in the Heart of Beverly Hills As the Cornerstone of the Golden
    Located in the heart of Beverly Hills as the cornerstone of the golden triangle, the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts (The Wallis) officially opens its doors to the public on October 15-18, 2013 with a dedication ceremony and a series of Galas, followed by programming beginning November 8 with the Martha Graham Dance Company. This new venue transforms a Beverly Hills city block, facing Santa Monica Boulevard, between Crescent and Canon Drives, into the first performing arts center to be built there: a vibrant arts destination and a major cultural and education hub for audiences of every age, with two distinct, elegant buildings: the renovated historic 1934 Italianate-style Beverly Hills Post Office and the new, contemporary 500-seat, state-of-the-art Bram Goldsmith Theater. Together these two structures embrace the city’s history and future, creating a new artistic and visual landmark, and an entryway into Beverly Hills’ fabled shopping district. Within the treasured Post Office, existing spaces are transformed into the 150-seat Lovelace Studio Theater, a theater school for young people (opening in 2014), a café and gift shop. For its Inaugural Season, The Wallis will produce and present theater, music and dance, as well as programming for the family audience, with the participation of established stage artists Mark Brokaw, Leonard Foglia, Ricky Ian Gordon, Frederica von Stade, Maurice Hines, Marsha Norman, Jason Robert Brown, Emma Rice, Harry Gregson- Williams, and the Kneehigh Theater. The Wallis will enhance the live theatre experience through special exhibitions that will reveal another layer meaning to a show or presentation.

  • The Hammer Museum Presents the First Major Career Survey of Modernist Architect A
    For Immediate Release: April 24, 2013 Contact: Sarah L. Stifler, Hammer Communications, 310-443-7056, [email protected] THE HAMMER MUSEUM PRESENTS THE FIRST MAJOR CAREER SURVEY OF MODERNIST ARCHITECT A. QUINCY JONES On view May 25 – September 8, 2013 Los Angeles—A. Quincy Jones: Building for Better Living is the first major museum career survey of the Los Angeles-based architect’s work and pays special attention to the unique collaborative nature of his practice. The exhibition is presented as part of the larger Getty-sponsored initiative Pacific Standard Time Presents: Modern Architecture in L.A. Archibald Quincy Jones (1913–1979), who was known as Quincy, practiced architecture in Los Angeles from 1937 until his death in 1979. A quiet modernist and dedicated architecture professor at the University of Southern California, Jones worked to bring a high standard of design to the growing middle class by reconsidering and refining postwar housing and emphasizing cost-effective, innovative, and sustainable building methods. In addition, Jones is among the first architects of this period to view developments as an opportunity to build community through shared green spaces, varied home models, and non-grid site planning. Jones is credited with over 5,000 built projects, most of which still exist today, as the clients and homeowners shared Jones’s compassion for ‘better living.’ Known by architects for designing from the inside out, Jones’s homes and buildings are celebrated for expansive interior spaces, thoughtful and efficient building layouts, and a reverence for the outdoors, which still resonates in contemporary design today.

    Statement of Qualifications University Extension Seismic Correction University of California, Los Angeles Project Number: 948472.01 July 15, 2013 BARTON PHELPS & ASSOCIATES Architects and Planners University Extension Seismic Correction University of California, Los Angeles: Letter of Introduction July 15, 2013 Jeffrey Averill, AIA, Campus Architect UCLA Capital Programs 1060 Veteran Avenue, 1st Floor Dear Mr. Averill: We are pleased to present our team’s qualifications to assist Capital Programs with the University Extension project. We’ve reviewed project information and visited the building and site. We’ve reviewed the preliminary structural study with its author, Nabih Youssef, our structural engineer, and been briefed on project implications for constructability, collateral damage, and architectural resolution. We’ve also refreshed our understanding of the later work of the prolific Los Angeles architect, A. Quincy Jones with whom I had the privilege of teaching at the USC School of Architecture before becoming a member of the faculty at UCLA. We sense the design challenges posed by this project in exterior composition and building identity, in orientation and patterns of use and movement both inside and out, and in materiality and construction as well as those of cost, accessibility and sustainability, But we also concur with Capital Programs’ perception that the building and site hold potential for significant improvements in functional performance and experiential quality for UNEX users and for the building’s prominence and interaction in the Westwood streetscape.. Over the last thirty years much of our firm’s design work has been for new educational facilities and digital information-based learning / working environments and we have responded to constantly changing operational and construction requirements in these kinds of projects.
