Winter Picnic Performance Sunday, February 7th, 2:00pm Reading Preserve & Speakeasy Collection February 4-7, 12:00–5:00pm
	Where Actions, Conversations, and Intersections Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery Barnsdall Park 4800 Hollywood Blvd. Los Angeles, 90027

Since 2000, we have built compelling pieces in collaboration with a range of people and locations, from our oft-imitated-never-duplicated Speakeasy salon, to our site specific performance series, Are You Interested?, and The Reading Preserve, our sanctuary for the endangered act of reading actual books. We are ready to put it all in joyous perspective as part of Los Angeles Municipal Gallery’s Actions, Conversations and Intersections.

Smart Gals’ wing of this exhibition will revolve around The Reading Preserve, as throughout the week, guests will be invited to come read quietly, alongside Los Angeles-based authors who have presented their work at the Speakeasy including John Albert, Noël Alumit, Aimee Bender, Francesca Lia Block, Cecil Castellucci, Brendan Constantine, Chris Davidson, Chris Epting, Janet Fitch, David Francis, S.A. Griffin, Christopher Lepowski, Joseph F Mattson, Nevin Schreiner, Jen Sincero, Imani Tolliver, Rita Williams, and David Wollock.

In between chapters, guests may browse the complete collection of commemorative Bookmarks commissioned for the Speakeasy.

The week’s celebration will culminate in a Winter Picnic Performance featuring freshly baked bread from the Bicycle Bread Company, hot coffee from Cafécito Organico, savory music, and sweet bits of surprising theater unwittingly triggered by our guests.
