Venice Art Crawl
The Venice Art Crawl has been around for more than two years now and has focused a lot of the artistic energy which Venice has historically been known for. For one night, we’re able to turn so many shops and restaurants all across one of the biggest tourist attractions in Los Angles into an arts mecca. That has raised business in local shops by as much as 50% nightly, resulted in thousands of dollars in sales for local artists and reinvigorated the arts community. Alternatively, SGA has worked a lot with rain barrels, designing and implementing the first and only rain barrel program of its kind through Mar Vista. There, they promoted and installed 600 rain barrels in the neighborhood, resulting in 33,000 gallons of water conserved every rainfall.

Beautiful Rain Barrels in Public Places
We’re trying to improve water quality and conserve water through the spread of rain barrels. Our rain barrels (30 of them) are going to be special because our local artists are going to make them beautiful. Then, we’re going to auction them off at a media event and install them throughout the City in an effort to raise awareness of their use.
