[As reported on Yvonne de la Vega's Occupy LA blog]:
Last night (December 8) at The Latino Museum in downtown Los Angeles the exhibition of art from the Occupy Los Angeles camp was definitely a night of unique sorts. There was the art itself, which spoke of many different concerns, from"stop the war" to depictions of Anonymous (the infamous hacker group and Occupy ally), to paintings of Gandhi, who has been an inspiration to occupiers for his peaceful protest(s).
The event was packed with art-goers and the usual spies among us, as this was indeed an Occupy Los Angeles event. Just one day before, a group of 8 artist/occupiers were arrested by the LAPD when leaving the museum for crimes still unclear (they were walking with their artwork after having just left the museum). The charges are reported to be at a felony level.
For those of you who were not able to attend the opening of the OLA Art display, the exhibit will continue through to January. free to the public
