scholarships to seniors at HBSH. The remaining 30%
will go toward the engraving, shipping and
installation of the tiles. The names, dedications
and words you choose to engrave on your tile will
become part of the HBSH’s legacy for generations to
come. For more information about purchasing a tile

Wednesday, July 23 | Workshops on Sign
Regulations
The City of Los Angeles invites you to a public
workshop concerning sign regulations in the
Hollywood Sign District and Community Redevelopment
Agency (CRA) Hollywood Project Area. We hope you
are able to attend on one of the scheduled dates and
give us your input regarding future signage in the
Hollywood area. There is no need to register or
RSVP, just come as you are and share your ideas with
us! The guidelines for signs in the area are
designed to promote appropriate signage in Hollywood
that would contribute to the area's image as an
entertainment destination, while limiting the visual
impacts of signage on residents and historic
buildings. The Planning Department and the CRA
review individual applications for signage in an
effort to limit visual clutter and enhance the major
transportation corridors in Hollywood. The City is
currently reviewing and revising our guidelines;
these workshops are being held in order to gather
public input about what sort of changes residents
and other stakeholders would like to see relating to
signage in their area.

Fusing media art and Hollywood Boulevard, Freewaves'
"HollyWould..." 11th biennial festival will
transform 6 blocks of the iconic street into a
multi-faceted showplace for experimental videos,
films and music from throughout the world. 100 art
works will be projected onto buildings, displayed on
LCD screens inside stores and presented in
storefront windows through partnerships with area
merchants. HollyWould..., the theme for this year’s
festival, is a playful and evocative turn on
Hollywood, both as an international symbol of the
American entertainment industry and as a Los Angeles
neighborhood very much in flux. The free festival
challenges preconceived notions of where art
belongs: tattoo parlors, adult-entertainment and
electronics stores, bars and restaurants, and trendy
clothing boutiques between Wilcox and La Brea. For
