The City of Santa Monica, in partnership with Downtown Santa Monica, Inc., is launching a series of temporary artworks intended to energize the downtown area and enliven Triangle Square and Third Street Promenade with a variety of art experiences and photogenic moments.
The grand debut leads with a colorful, immersive installation by artist HOTTEA (a.k.a Eric Reiger) who uses yarn and other mediums to create beautiful shapes and designs. A series of suspended, fluttering artworks will bring Triangle Square and the Third Street Promenade to life. A different art experience will be featured at each block of the Promenade culminating at Wilshire Blvd. Residents and visitors can choose to experience the artworks by entering the Third Street Promenade at Wilshire Blvd. or begin the exploration at Triangle Square on Colorado Ave.
These installations will be on view from August 28 through November 1, 2017. There will be a brief departure for the holiday season, and then ROAM will continue to unfold for the next 9-12 months with several large-scale temporary installations at Triangle Square, simultaneously coupled with smaller and more surprising artworks and lush, mesmerizing projections along the Third Street Promenade, between Wilshire Blvd. and Colorado Ave.
Artists featured in this series, include Faile, Andrew Shoultz, Jen Stark, Ben Zamora, Brenda Monroe, Danielle Garza, Jeanine Centuori & Russell Rock, Kate Johnson, Kristen Ramirez, Nataša Stearns, Nate Frizzell and Sean Yoro.
