The Getty Villa presents ArtQuest! as part of the Getty Villa annual summer drop-in program. Bring your family to learn about ancient art through interactive games and hands-on art making.
Explore music and poetry of the ancient world this summer. Learn about the Dionysia, the great festival of ancient Athens where musical and theatrical competitions were held—an event that gave birth to the art of drama that we still enjoy today through plays and movies. Make, decorate, and play your own musical instruments based on ancient designs. You can even try your hand at writing ancient poetry. This is a fun event for kids and families.

@hellwood. What you say is true also. Based on your assessment, all sports and visitors to our…Read More parks should be prohibited. Why? After every sporting event, and, after most weekends, I see all forms of trash littered throughout the park, the baseball fields, the parking lots, etc. And, all this in the PRESENCE of trash containers. When I approached a parent that littering is not only illegal; and, that birds mistake pieces of plastic as food which, as a result, kill them as well as their babies; and, that peanut shells attract rodents; and, also that allowing their kids (and, the parents) to litter is NOT a way to instill good habits amongst the children, I was told, "That's why we pay taxes...so that the city workers can clean up this mess." Could it be that some of these parents also own beach homes?

@max
what you say is all true however, I live at a beach access, and there was minimal trash before…Read More it was opened to the public. after the gate was opened, the beach and highway were transformed into a dump. after a busy weekend there is crap scattered all over the place, and no way to clean it up. for every jerk homeowner here in malibu, there are at least a hundred visitors who need to be taught some manners. watching people under homes crapping while their dogs crap all up and down, setting up shop on people's decks and stairs with BBQ's and coolers, and using the residents showers and hoses is really getting old. there are no restrooms, no trash cans on the beach, and the county doesn't maintain most of these beaches which means the locals are left with the mess.

I hope the APP explains to the city people that the sand in front of many of the homes is private to…Read More the mean high tide line. Many homeowners have had their property stolen from them due to extortion by the CCC, many have not. I hope the APP also lets these people know that removing creatures from our local tide pools is a no-no, as well as molesting marine mammals.

Still no official spokesperson for CA State Parks? Not one person that speaks on behalf of the…Read More project?? A REAL person who is paid to present facts, who got the contract to do the outreach that was in the budget documentation? Reach Out whoever you are, earn that pay!!!

OK. Jamie, here's the deal. The money spent to restore the lagoon came from a pot of bond money…Read More (voter approved) that was intended to be used ONLY for the maintenance of wetlands here in the state. If that money had not been spent here in Malibu it would have been spent elsewhere in the state on some other wetland. Any other use is a moot point. If you felt you were attacked it was only because you did seem a little obtuse. You first made the hot rod reference. Personally, I'm more into flat sixes than flat heads. Peace and have a good one. Puuuuuuuuuuuuuur.

Sulah cat, My posts have demonstrated my belief that the “Malibu Lagoon Restoration…Read More Project” is a name that may have been created in order to mislead people into thinking it that the project would be a worthwhile public expense. The idea of restoring the Lagoon isn’t necessarily a bad idea. That being said, I believe the money spent to alter the Lagoon could have been spent in many other ways that would have served the public better.
Why do you attack me personally? First, you say I’m not a car guy and then you accuse me being into flat head Fords? Fords, really?
Sincerely yours,

Your worst nightmare scenario: I predict that you’d experience brain freeze if you were…Read More having a procedure right here in Malibu at your friendly gastroenterologist’s place just as a smoke alarm went off in his office. You’d be a real quandary, namely, “When, what, where and how to evacuate?” In this case, the Santa Ana winds would blow from inside, as well as outside, the doctor’s office, in which case, both you and the good doc would evacuate pell-mell (or, should I say, pell-smell?). In anticipation of this high-pressure scenario, perhaps it’s in your best interest to hop onto the I-80 and (re) evacuate the 2831.67 miles back East, from whence you came, to avoid this potential sensory overload occurrence. In the meantime, should we get hit with another fire (G-d forbid), our Firefighter heroes, upon entering your home, would exclaim on their megaphone, "OK everyone, if you follow my commands and remain calm, everyone will be safe. Therefore, in accordance with International Red Cross protocol and common-sense guidelines, please make way for Burt, the children, the woman, the elderly and, finally, able-bodied men, to evacuate, in that order!"

the People of Malibu better wake up! this issue with Paradise Cove is only going to get worse. The…Read More city and Paradise Cove are working on an expansion of the parking there. See the link to a recent meeting at the city that is the beginning of Paradise coves expansion. It is very quiet and no one knows but look at the plan. Currently Paradise Cove does not have the proper Zoning to be doing what they do down there. The city thinks by letting them expand that it will get people off the highway so they are in favor but in reality it only puts more money into the pockets of Paradise Cove and people will still park on PCH and Paradise Cove will continue to sends drunks out onto the road to endanger all of us. Speak up!

I ate lunch Friday at the Adamson House lawn and nearly 'chuncked out' with the smell of sewage.…Read More Uggggg!
It was worse than the biggest sewage spill that Paradise Cove ever had in the 15 years living there.
I'm not a scientist like everyone else who has been arguing about this project but I know the smell of 8hit when I smell it. Something is seriously wrong.
I am a mechanical engineer and it seems to me that all the scientists and smart designers have not taken into account any fluid dynamics. Water flows in, water flows out....water flows through. How hard is that?
It seems to me they have designed what is called turbulence!

Love that you are using the message board to ask this question. Does any one have any ideas?

Dear Phil (re: Burt's column),
I can’t quite put my finger on it, but, I sense an…Read More Eggs-itential undertone to all this. Does the chicken Egg-ist on behalf of the egg or vice versa? Eggs-perience will reveal the truth. To be complete, I must rehash Camus’ “The Play-egg.” Yet, as I recall, in the Book of Eggs-odous, there wasn’t a single Play-egg, but ten of them… so many, in fact, that it seems to many readers to be literally a Dozen Play-eggs. But, then again, I’m not very religious. In fact, many of my colleagues take me for an Egg-nostic. But, they are such Hard-boiled fanatics, that, in fact, their peers surmise they boarder on Egg-lectic. But, as Burt always says in da ‘hood, “Om-letting them be what they want to be.” We, however, have one on Burt: Rumor has it that he fell of the Vegan and had an egg salad… to which he Eggs-claims, “It was a serving of ‘Egg Beaters,’ you Egg-Heads!!”

May Malibu residents, businesses and our City ALWAYS have the foresight and passion to remember and…Read More protect > "Malibu was a place I went to with friends to hang out at the beach. But the last few years, its become a place I often go to by myself as a little escape zone. Whenever I have need to clear by head and level my shoulders, I head out to Malibu for a little mini-vacation. Whenever, like Ishmael, it feels like a damp, drizzly November in my soul, I fire up my 1965 Chevelle Malibu Super Sport and go see the watery part of the world."
Amen.
