Preview: Frank Romero “Soñando en Califas” ~ Opens Dec 22

Frank Romero, legendary Chicano artist, will present iconic work spanning decades tonight (Thursday,. Dec 22) at Eastern Projects Gallery in Chinatown. A founding member of Los Four, Romero has defined Chicano art while himself refusing to be defined by labels or limits. For our younger readers, this is a chance to go see an important artist whose voice is still vibrant and whose work still resonates with anyone who loves the city of Los Angeles and its distinct culture. In his art you can find reflections of the culture he represents, but always in the unique template that the artist has honed through the years. Please enjoy these preview images of a small part of the collection that will be shown tonight...

However, this does not include any other fines related to equipment restrictions or lack of permits. This also means that while a vendor can’t be cited for vending in areas like the Hollywood Walk of Fame anymore, they can still get cited for other city regulations.
