Help us support local art, neighborhood history and beautification in the Industrial District of Downtown Los Angeles!

Recently established in the Industrial District of Downtown Los Angeles, Teapop DTLA pairs tea with art.  We currently feature monthly artists, music and comedy performances, and community gatherings every month.  Our next grand gesture of supporting local art is with an act of neighborhood beautification. Through February, we are fundraising for a bright and uplifting large-scale art installation on the side of Teapop DTLA's building, which has high visibility traffic passing by daily. Monies raised will go toward:

• Paint supplies
• Lift/crane rental
• Mural team led by Artist Erin Williams
• An unveiling event at completion

The mural is our proactive stamp on creating vibrancy and life in an overlooked and underserved part of downtown.  We hope to engage with local community members in an effort to beautify our bleak stretch of downtown, which consists of grey-toned industrial buildings, graffiti tags, and rampant with illegal dumping of trash/waste, and incite a safer and cleaner neighborhood for residents and community members.  In partnership with non-profit organization A Move For Life, we plan to invite local officials from Downtown Neighborhood Council and the office of Councilman Jose Huizar, media organizations, schools, artists, donors, residents and businesses in the area to join our unveiling "block party" event to celebrate.
