Wilshire Rotary Club of Los Angeles welcomes Norm Dominguez BNI Vice Chairman Emeritus, Co-Founder at Possi Global Inc
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could ignite a movement that positions ‘positive attitude’ overriding conflict, fear, chaos and uncertainty WITH the spirit of happiness, joy, hope and faith being dominant in all of our actions.
What if WE established simple mechanisms that move us to practice positivity daily with a ‘thumbs up’ gesture OR by echoing the word Possi with gratitude and passion. These mechanisms will become a universal picture of positivity that helps to address learning needs, curing disease, improving health and much, much more around the world. Saying Possi or displaying ‘thumbs up’ will strengthen communication. Join us and become a part of a positivity movement.

Ebell of Los Angeles743 S Lucerne BlvdLos Angeles, CA 90005
Join us for a special Artist Reception featuring the work of George Evans. This exhibit was curated in partnership with Vida L. Brown, Visual Arts Curator of the California African American Museum.A native of Southern California, George Evans is an accomplished artist whose artworks are reflective of his academic training from Chouinard Art Institute (CalArts) and apprenticeship with the late renowned watercolorist William Pajaud. The trajectory of his practice spans fifty years with artworks proficiently executed in the media of watercolors, acrylics, pencil, photography, and digital.
Through the application of these various media, Evans explores the absence of boundaries to develop and reconstruct his concepts about figure and form. He utilizes minimal brush strokes, the manipulation of layers of colors, textures, and patterns to standardize or deviate from the notions about the female physique in a broad spectrum of compositions.
The exhibition is a compilation of classic watercolor portraits to abstract composite photographs of the female figure and form that reflects a small sampling of Evans’ oeuvre.
Tickets are FREE, please RSVP
