Windermere Properties invites Kim Leerdam from Gallery Domingo and Man One from Crewest Gallery to curate their next charitable art event entitled, Teen Dream.

Gallery Domingo and Crewest Gallery are handling Windermere Properties next quarterly charitable art event, entitled Teen Dream benefiting the HeArt Project.  The HeArt Project creatively links overlooked teenagers in alternative high schools with professional artists, cultural centers and communities to imagine, produce and present new work.  The exhibition will open on Wednesday, March 21^st, 2007 with a private reception at Windermere’s location on the 3^rd floor of 9000 Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles and the works will be on display and available to the public Monday through Fridays during normal business hours until June 8, 2007.  Teen Dream loosely ties together artwork (by mostly adults) that features art with a juvenile flair. 

Kim Leerdam is the director and curator of the gallery. The combination of business training and the experience of managing artists in addition to selling art, lends to a unique perspective of art, artists and the marketplace.  She also pursues her own artist interests which can range anywhere from drawing and painting to an after-school art club through the Woodcraft Rangers in inner-city middle schools.  Leerdam has also penned two graffiti-related articles recently published in Geared Out Magazine (Sacramento).  She graduated in May 2003 with a degree in Business Administration from the University of LaVerne near Los Angeles, CA.  In 2004, she accepted an invitation to join the board of trustees for the Hollywood Arts Council. 

Man One A leading urban muralist/artist enhancing the definition of art today is Los Angeles native Man One. Involved with the Graffiti Art movement since 1987, Man One began his artistic journey on the streets of Los Angeles tagging and leaving his trademark of bold, colorful aerosol strokes as he searched for his artistic purpose.  Now he is the man behind Crewest Gallery in downtown Los Angeles, a gallery specializing in talented underground urban artists.

Gallery Domingo is an event-based gallery, independent curator and resource for visual art (paintings, drawings, sculpture, aerosol murals).  For more information about this event or the gallery, please contact Kim Leerdam, Director of Gallery Domingo (323.871.ARTS), info@gallerydomingo.com) or visit the website at www.gallerydomingo.com.
