Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 3, 2004–-On June 25, 2004, the Hollywood
Bowl re-opens with a brand new shell modeled after the shell that served
as the Bowl's stage for almost 75 years. To celebrate this grand re-opening,
more than 80 local artists have created original works of art out of pieces
of the landmark shell that was taken down in late 2003. In 1980, large "champagne bubble" spheres were installed in the Hollywood Bowl shell by architect Frank Gehry. Pieces of these spheres, as well as a few whole spheres, serve as the unique canvas for the artists in the "Hollywood Bowl Sphere Art Project." Artists participating include: Guy Dill, Ed Moses, Kenny Scharf, and Robert Toll. Special celebrity artists include Hollywood legend Tony Curtis, Jane Seymour, and Lori Petty. Many other highly respected artists as well as new discoveries are also contributing to the project. Complete List of Artists The Hollywood Bowl Sphere Art Project is being organized by Global Branding Group, a Torrance-based company under contract with the County of Los Angeles. 10% of the proceeds from the sale of the art will be donated by Global Branding Group to Heart of Los Angeles Youth (HOLA), a local non-profit organization that offers fine arts, athletic and education programs to more than 1,300 underserved school-aged children.
