Justice by Uniting in Creative Energy (J.U.i.C.E.), a project of Community Partners, is a non-profit weekly hip hop arts program that seeks to develop youth leadership and technical skills, creative expression and self-confidence through the artistic elements of hip hop which include breakdancing, urban art, deejaying, emceeing/spoken word and music recording.

They teach visual arts workshops, paint large-scale and legal graffiti murals in the community, record and produce music, emcee, bboy/bgirl on a large hardwood floor to live DJs. They create unique opportunities for underserved young artists to showcase their work, network with peers and professionals and engage with their communities in a positive manner through the arts. The program is free for all age groups.

THE VISION
To sustain a safe and permanent home for youth where the elements of hip-hop are used as a tool for social change, youth empowerment and art education.

THE MISSION
To address the root causes of juvenile crime and of youths’ need for belonging by providing a safe center run by and for young people, focused on skill building in the arts of the hip-hop culture.

Starting in March, our new location will be @

The City of Los Angeles Planning Department has proposed a new sign ordinance. This ordinance is meant to address the unwanted proliferations of signs in the City of Los Angeles, but it has dramatic effects on murals. The proposed ordinance severely limits the size, scope and placement of murals of any kind. There is currently amoratorium against any signs or murals being erected on private property in the City of Los Angeles. In fact, murals on private property in the City of LA have been banned since June of 2007.

The Planning Department believes murals have actually been outlawed since the year 2002. If this proposal passes as presented, it will severely limit any type of mural work on private property for many years to come.
ICU Art and Crewest Gallery are hosting an informal Artist Discussion to talk about the revised proposal shortly after it comes out, but before the next public hearing.

Artists and concerned community members are invited to come to this discussion and contribute ideas and to help formulate a plan for the muralist community.

When: Wednesday, February 11, 7-9pm
Where: Crewest Gallery [110 Winston Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013]
Hosts: Stash Maleski (ICU Art), Alex Poli (Crewest)
Phone: (213) 627-8272
Email: info@crewest.com
To RSVP for the meeting or to send letters of support, please contact Stash Maleski of ICU Art – In Creative Unity at phone (310) 309-7756, fax (310) 414-9932 icuart@aol.com. RSVP not required.

The month of February might remind people of valentine hearts, roses and such, but for me, every year it’s all about Bob Marley fest and who’s performing. This year has a pretty decent lineup featuring some timeless legends, Marleys, and dub champions. Tickets should sell out as usual, so I recommend getting some presales right away.

A Call to All Young Urban Leaders:

We all know that times are hard and, nowadays, we’re being forced to stretch our dollars more and more each day. We know good and well that we desperately need More Good Jobs here in Los Angeles. Lucky for us, folks, our opportunity for better jobs is here. Change is in the air and it’s called Measure B!

For those that may not know, the City of Los Angeles will be voting on Measure B this March 3rd, which will allow LADWP to install solar panels throughout the city of Los Angeles and hire folks from South LA to install them.

And, we need YOU to make Measure B happen! Join us for our weeknight phonebanks and Saturday Neighborhood Walks this February to make sure that Los Angeles leads the way in the new Green Jobs Movement that’s starting to sweep the nation. This movement is growing rapidly and it’s our future: rebuilding our national infrastructure, creating more jobs for Americans and making our world a healthier place in which to live…all at the same time. What this means to young folks in Los Angeles is More Good Jobs, Healthier Families and Long-Term lower rates for our power bills.

For more information, check out http://greenenergygoodjobsla.com

So, below, check out locations and times to join us as we talk to our neighbors about Measure B.

We can’t do this without you! (yes, YOU)

The following statement was issued on the Indie 103.1 FM website:

“Indie 103.1 will cease broadcasting over this frequency effective immediately. Because of changes in the radio industry and the way radio audiences are measured, stations in this market are being forced to play too much Britney, Puffy and alternative music that is neither new nor cutting edge. Due to these challenges, Indie 103.1 was recently faced with only one option — to play the corporate radio game.

We have decided not to play that game any longer. Rather than changing the sound, spirit, and soul of what has made Indie 103.1 great Indie 103.1 will bid farewell to the terrestrial airwaves and take an alternative course.

This could only be done on the Internet, a place where rules do not apply and where new music thrives; be it grunge, punk, or alternative – simply put, only the best music.

For those of you with a computer at home or at work, log on to www.indie1031.com and listen to the new Indie 103.1 – which is really the old Indie 103.1, not the version of Indie 103.1 we are removing from the broadcast airwaves.

We thank our listeners and advertisers for their support of the greatest radio station ever conceived, and look forward to continuing to deliver the famed Indie 103.1 music and spirit over the Internet to passionate music listeners around the world.”
