Art in the High Tower: Inside the Downtown 72nd Floor Street Art Gallery

The idea was to “elevate” the art and artists who inspire and draw inspiration from the city.

Invited only to speak on “What does LA mean to you?”, the cohort speaks out on flower markets and wild gardens, street vendors and sports legends, family and neighborhood, music history and graffiti artists, diverse heritage and indigenous culture, astronauts, jazz and boba.
