Since February, Los Angeles-area SUSTAINABILITY NETWORK members (artists, creatives, administrators, producers, and organizers) have been meeting monthly to get to know one another; talk about our work, needs, and interests; and brainstorm ideas to make this network what we want and need right now, over tasty treats and delicious cocktails. 

This month, artists Dante and Ashley Ortiz are hosting us in their live/work studio in Boyle Heights. Please bring something to eat or drink, to share. RSVP here if you would like to join us and we will message you the address a couple of days prior. (Email me if you're not on Facebook.)

This will be an intimate gathering for network members interested in helping develop the project; for a more casual public get-together, check out our August Happy Hour @ LACE.

Our conversation topic for the month is "WHO ARE YOUR PEOPLE?" We'll talk about what it means to build community and establish collaborative relationships and alliances. We'll also take a moment to think about the people that keep our fires lit and our bellies full, and to whom it matters that we succeed.

**OUT OF TOWN MEMBERS ARE INVITED TO JOIN US VIA GOOGLE HANGOUTS** (Email me to make arrangements.)
