Say hello to Panorama City!

@metro.art.la unveils the latest art poster in the ‘Through the Eyes of Artists’ series: Panorama City by artist @meldepaz, now on buses and trains throughout the region.

Amidst a starry sky and the iconic hills of the San Fernando Valley, artist Mel Depaz’s artwork highlights Plaza Del Valle, a beloved shopping complex and community hub home to approximately 100 small businesses and restaurants. Inspired by the plazas of Latin America, Plaza Del Valle also hosts community events with live entertainment and family-friendly activities, captured through Depaz’s mariachi-heart trumpeter and colorful folklorico dancers.

On Monday, Sept 14, meet the artist and receive a FREE signed art poster at the Latino/Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration at Plaza Del Valle, 8610 Van Nuys Blvd, Panorama City, from 9AM to 12PM. Join the festivities, meet Mel Depaz, and learn more about her creative process.

Collectors can also pick up their free poster at any Metro Customer Center across Los Angeles County, including Union Station, Baldwin Hills, Crenshaw, East Los Angeles, LAX/Metro Transit Center, Rosa Parks Station, and Wilshire/Vermont.

🚇 Go Metro! Plan your trip at metro.net or call 323.GO.METRO.

What started as a fun project turned into a full blown community film! 🎬 The camera was passed around to capture everyone’s unique POV, editing this was pure joy.

Huge thank you to everyone who captured these beautiful memories. A day filled with chess, amazing friends, and vibrant community vibes with all the clubs involved.

Grateful to have met every single one of you! 🫶🏼

Shoutout to @chess_social for putting together with a team of other chess organizers.
@lacma for providing the perfect space for creatives, chess players, and artists to connect.

We can’t wait for the next one! ♟️✨
