Reduce, Re-use, Resquache! (warning: saying that word is addictive). This is the mantra of the artists Diana Castro and Cecilia Lopez at Pacoima Beautiful's Arts Incubator, interviewed by Connectopod reporters Victoria Benitez and James Alltop.
The Arts Incubator (another great word!) is the dynamic new program of Pacoima Beautiful, an organization that has been advocating for environmental equity in the San Fernando Valley since 1996 through clean ups, youth mentorship, grass roots activism and ever developing new programs and initiatives. Director Sandra Ramirez sat down with reporters Angelica Benitez and Sabir Salim at the studios on Van Nuys and Cayuga in Pacoima to understand what exactly is incubating and how!
Pacoima is blooming with colorful murals and arts festivals. Find out how the Arts Incubator program supports and fosters artists to benefit the community. And look for Artvertise on bus shelters near you!
"Home is Where the Art Is" is the first episode in a 3 part series requested by wonder librarian, Marcia Melkonian, at the Pacoima Library, paid for by The Nicholas Beck Trust. Connectopod will cover 3 of the nonprofits that uplift and celebrate this dynamic family oriented neighborhood: Arts Incubator, International Rescue Committee, and MEND. Tune in to hear what makes Pacoima great!
