Wallis Offers Drive-By Art Experience

BEVERLY HILLS, CA — Beverly Hills has teamed up with alternative events producer TZ Projects and the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts to launch Visions in Light: Windows on The Wallis, a drive-by art event.

From Thursday until the 29 at 8 p.m. t0 11 p.m. each night, the work of a diverse array 40 established and emerging artists will be projected onto the Wallis's windows.

"Visions in Light: Windows on the Wallis is concerned with the power of art and culture to speak for a diverse humanity," said TZ producers Torie Zalben and Liana Weston. "The show, a video display, comprises various media, still and moving, projected onto the windows of Beverly Hills' the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. The windows serve not only to present the show physically, but to stand metaphorically for seeing beyond one's own point of view. Art thus becomes a tool for justice and harmony."

The exhibition also seeks to highlight the diversity of Beverly Hills. "This is a wonderful venue to commemorate diverse humanity in Beverly Hills," said Beverly Hills Human Relations Commissioner Karen Popovich Levyn. "The collaboration of the intercommissions, the Arts & Culture and the Human Relations Commissions, are an exciting joint alliance to continue to embrace civility, diversity, and inclusion in Beverly Hills."

Throughout the pandemic, the Wallis has offered virtual programming. It is currently showing Artistic Director Paul Crewes speaking to a number of artists, and Reena Esmail's Piano Trio, with commentary from artists. On Nov. 22, pianist, actor, and playwright Hershey Felder will perform a one-man show exploring the life and music of French composer Claude Debussy.
