Summer of Color - NOW WE NEED YOU!!! - Rescheduled

This event was rained out, but we've rescheduled for Dec. 4.

Summer of Color was the largest public art project in the U.S. and also one of the largest civic efforts in the world.  For five months the LA County lifeguard towers – on 31 miles of beach - were transformed into a collective work of art.

Over 8000 volunteers made this happen – both adults and children
