A GREAT NEW ART TREASURE ARRIVES IN THE NO HO

2010 -- THE YEAR OF VALLEY ADVENTURES

The San Fernando Valley is an endless kaleidoscope of treasures, and no place exceeds the excitement going on in the revitalized NoHo Arts District.

The Museum of the San Fernando Valley is just halfway through our second year of walking tours of historic North Hollywood, and already there is new art and more history to tell about.

A major new work of art by the sculptor Cliff Garten on Lankershim Boulevard is a perfect example of this. Called “Sentient Beings” Garten’s exciting art stands at the entrance to the NoHo Commons complex, and will quickly act as a major welcoming image to the east side of the boulevard.

A visit to Mark's Paint Store in the NoHo presents yet another powerful argument for the importance of supporting entertainment companies in the San Fernando Valley. A specialty paint store catering to the motion picture and television industries, Mark’s has for 32 years supplied scenic and set companies with the ordinary and specialized paints and equipment needed to create the backgrounds of the films we know and appreciate.
The next time you are in North Hollywood visit Mark’s just to see the fantastic movie memorabilia collection that decorate the walls. Look for film and t.v. scripts, posters and location-cards (admitting suppliers to secured sets.)
As an artist, I have found a great new place to buy supplies, and to just explore.

Mark’s Paint Store
4830 Vineland Avenue
North Hollywood, CA 91601
Mark’s is next to the Idle Hour Cafe (the barrel) where Vineland meets Lankershim Boulevard in the NoHo.

Board member Gary Fredburg and I have been exploring the cafes in the NoHo, to recommend to folks on The Museum's historic walking tours. Gary says the Philadelphia Cheese Steak sandwich was really good. I really enjoyed the walls of the place, loaded with great memorabilia and photos from the San Fernando Valley's amazing history as the center of the Creative Capital of the World.
