SFTS presents: Photography Soup @ The Downtown Independent ~ 'Art Soup' is a Summer Time Fun Society happening; an aesthetic mixer involving some of L.A.'s freshest creative minds. Our mission is to combine art pieces, sounds and visions into an "Art Soup" that any individual can and will ultimately enjoy, or benefit from. Our 'Art Soup' events give these fresh young artists a forum in which they can gain exposure in an art arena that isn't bound by the bureaucracy of the L.A. art scene. The events motivate an apathetic generation to create. It brings real art to those who are looking for it. ~ 252 S. Main St. ~ $5.00
