Los Angeles, this is the Asian American party to be at this weekend. Mix and mingle with the movers and shakers in Asian American arts and entertainment.
The hidden gem of Los Angeles, Tuesday Night Project (TNP), celebrates its 12th year of free multidisciplinary arts programming in Downtown Los Angeles. Since 1999, their flagship series, the “1st & 3rd Tuesday Night Cafe,” has presented a variety of Asian American and Los Angeles artists performing music, poetry, visual art, comedy improv, short films, and performance art. In celebration, TNP presents the “TNParty: Annual Benefit for the Tuesday Night Project” on July 31st in the JACCC Plaza at 244 S San Pedro St, Los Angeles, CA 90012, from 5PM to 11PM. It will be TNP’s 2nd annual fundraiser, featuring DJs, live music, a silent art auction, live painters throughout the Plaza, and a special “Video-Collider mash-up”/ninety minutes of 60-second videos from LA artists strung together and projected onstage by partner Visual Communications to “mash-up” with the DJs that follow the live music performances.
With free admission for kids 12 and under, the TNParty will begin with a family hour featuring Mista Cookie Jar, and taiko with Pro Ta and poongmul (korean drumming) with Freedom Sounds. A full evening of music will also include performers: Bambu, formerly of the Native Guns; Harlem Lee, winner of 2003 TV show Fame; Rocky Rivera and DJ Roza; and Tuesday Night Project Resident Artists Durwood (Golda Inquito and Gertie Meza) collaborating with David Tran a.k.a Applesauce; Dawen; Shin Kawasaki; and Sue Jin with Jenny San Angel. Featured vendors will include family-owned catering businesses along with several independent artisans selling everything from jewelry to painted light switch plates.
