TAKE ME HOME L.A.
What does it mean to be home in Los Angeles? For many, it’s a generator of boundless possibilities. A meandering landscape where new ideas originate in unsuspecting spaces. In this wide-stretched home, creation is the primary tenant. Los Angeles offers a siren calling to paint here, sew here, sing here, build here, evoke the past of here and envision the future of here.
Calling L.A. home comes with an implicit responsibility to grapple with its unruliness. Profound questions often arise of this mobility-restrictive urban system, of social injustices past and present that have scorched our streets, of how to best distribute a limited amount of resources in a desert ecosystem still expanding in size and scope.
In celebration of the grand opening of The MaxLofts, 96 new homes in a historic Art deco high-rise in LA’s Fashion District, we invite Los Angeles to see these new lofts by experiencing the greater home that surrounds us. On Thursday, June 23, we hand over the keys to locally-based art, design, fashion, and cultural entities. We invite neighbors far and wide to come inside and experience the many creative industries that are reflective of this home: at the intersection of several Downtown LA communities, based in the Fashion District, one of the most culturally unique, complex, dynamic neighborhoods of Los Angeles.
