     (PNAN-CALIF) – “Sound Art is the first in a series of brick-and-mortar exhibitions based on LarkGallery Online’s 2010 international competition, Colors of Life, which involved interactively matching art and music,” says Larisa Pilinsky. The show opens Thursday, March 3 at The Loft in San Pedro with an opening reception from 6:00-9:00 pm.

About 

Located in the downtown of San Pedro, California, since 1995, The Loft has been the home to an eclectic group of artists who create paintings, sculptures, neon works and assemblages in huge, airy, sunlit studios. Two galleries with polished floors and high ceilings showcase their work with new exhibits mounted bimonthly. Guest artists are invited to show their work, and community meetings, musical events and poetry readings are also part of the programming.

     Constructed in the early 1900s, the building’s history was once the Pacific Laundry, which washed all the clothes and linens for cargo ships calling at the port. For 50 years, it served as a warehouse for Harbor Ship Supply, a ship chandler. Today, its yellow stucco building is wedged between an auto repair shop and a ship supplier warehouse.
