While we are disappointed and angry that the unjust Prop 8 was upheld by the California Superior Court, we are certain that Divine would keep on singing until equal rights are afforded to all. And we are also certain that Harvey Milk would remind us of the importance of HOPE and the need to keep on fighting. In honor of the spirit of these two incredible and inspiring human beings, we invite

We hope you all have had the time to breathe out the post-election sigh of relief. While we at OVERTONES were disappointed to see that Proposition 8 passed in California, we are confident and hopeful that it will get overturned and equality for all will be a way of life in our state, and the world. And, needless to say, a landslide Obama win was an incredible moment to behold. In an effort of

Funny how capitalism crashing on a global scale can take our attention away from things that truly matter in life--like art, for example. So, here we are to remind you that there is only one week left to turn off your TV and stop by OVERTONES to see some really great art: VICTOR GASTELUM's solo exhibition "Xacto Mundo" Victor's exhibit is on view through October 25th with gallery hours

As so many of Victor Gastelum's fans already know, his relationship with the Tucson-based band CALEXICO has been a long and fruitful one.

This is the last week to catch SIMONE LOURENCO's beautiful exhibition "In Bloom"--don't miss the chance to see it. "In Bloom" was recommended in the June issue of ArtScene and it is truly deserving of a trip to the West Side: after seeing the show, you are likely to feel like bonding with Mother Nature anyway so the location couldn't be better--the grand Pacific Ocean is only a few minutes away

The Third Annual Culver City Art Walk is upon us and OVERTONES is pleased to take part.
