Casa del Mar's "Summer of Color Package"
2010 will be a summer to remember. The L.A. County Lifeguard towers have transformed into a vibrant statement of unity and hope - and Hotel Casa del Mar is giving you a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience L.A.'s most colorful and philanthropic public art exhibit up close. The "Summer of Color Package" is available June 15 - August 30 and includes: • Five nights in an Oceanview Penthouse overlooking the Summer of Color towers • You'll meet Ed Massey - the artist and activist behind the Summer of Color exhibition. You'll receive a private tour of his collection at Casa del Mar and hear about his transformation of the lifeguard towers first hand. • Two pool deck cabana massages from Sea Wellness Spa • A daily "How many towers can you take?" cardio workout with a private trainer • A candlelit, private dinner for two on the bow of the pool deck overlooking Santa Monica Bay • One of only 180 limited edition L.A. County Lifeguard Summer of Color prints An incredible value at just $7,700. For more information and to book this offer please call 310.581.5533, or 800.898.6999. Ed Massey's exclusive exhibit in Casa's lobby has been extended until August 31 and the lifeguard towers are decorated for summer through the end of September. Interesting Fact: In the Fall, the lifeguard tower rails and cross beams will get a fresh coat of paint compliments of UCLA’s freshman class and volunteers from Starbucks and from greater L.A.
After the exhibition, the Portraits of Hope art panels will be donated to the participating institutions and to social service agencies around the world for the beautification of interior and exterior settings. Many of the panels will be shipped to Haiti for transitional homes, temporary shelters, schools, hospitals, and senior centers. This action replicates the process in which thousands of Garden in Transit panels from New York City were utilized in New Orleans after Katrina for transitional homes, school buildings, and government structures.
