Unilocal’s business section is a fine overview but visiting, or attending an event is so much better! «Craft In America Study Center is a Los Angeles-based non-profit organization. Our mission is to document and advance original handcrafted work through educational programs in all media. We are dedicated to the exploration, preservation and celebration of craft, the work of the hand, and craft’s impact on our nation’s cultural heritage. Established in 2009. After twenty-five years of representing artists and the handmade at Freehand Gallery, Carol Sauvion felt the need to increase awareness of the fine crafts that are being made in America and the community of people who are dedicated to a life in this unique art form.» So, what brought me here this afternoon? An invitation to experience the bluegrass quartet Hot October Their performance, in conjunction with Friday’s 11−20−15PBS première, «Music» was a toe tappin’ fest! Currently instruments from the television program can be viewed at the center . Take the kids they’ll love it! Check out Freehand Gallery next door Park meters on 3rd Street, or at the Beverly Connection, or 2-hours in residential neighborhoods north of the center.
