California Nespresso Stores to Accept Consumer Coffee Grounds to (Re)Grow LA for Replanting Season
Year-round, consumers can recycle their used Nespresso capsules at one of our 250+ collection points at Nespresso boutiques or retail partners or send them via one of our 88,000+ UPS drop-off locations at no cost.
Following the devastating January 2025 LA wildfires, Nespresso aimed to leverage its presence in California and coffee as a force for good.
The brand is launching “The Grounds to Grow LA” project to encourage California consumers to drop off their used coffee capsules at local boutiques, with a goal to reach 100,000 pounds worth of nutrient-rich coffee ground compost and topsoil, which can play a beneficial role in supporting healthy plants and tree growth, helping to remove contaminants and promote resilience.

Free To Sp%@k
Fiber art as protest: three SoCal artists transform fabric, text, and tradition to confront censorship, free speech, and democracy.
(Culver City, CA) Village Well Books & Coffee presents “Free To Sp%@k!” a group exhibition by Southern California fiber artists Kathryn Pellman, Kelly Hartigan Goldstein, and MartyO, who test the tensile strength of free expression when language itself has become a battleground. Timed to coincide with the American Library Association’s annual Banned Books Week (October 4–11, 2025), The artists pose a direct question: What happens to a democracy when the First Amendment is treated as negotiable rather than fundamental?
Each artist responds using their craft not as quiet decoration but as deliberate disruption, embedding contested language directly into their materials. Together, they demonstrate that if voices held no power, efforts to suppress them would not be so relentless.
Moving between hush and outcry within tactile mediums of fiber and paper, these works engage the cont…

Abandoned, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles–based artist Monica Marks, will be on view October 25 through November 21, 2025 at Gallery 825, located at 825 N La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles. An artist talk is scheduled for November 1 at 2 PM.
This immersive installation brings together sculpture, photography, painting, found-object assemblage, and projection to explore the haunting presence and layered human stories embedded in the abandoned homestead cabins of California’s Mojave Desert.
At the heart of the exhibition is a partially reconstructed “Jackrabbit Homestead”—structures originally built under the Small Tract Act of the 1950s and 1960s, which granted land parcels to homesteaders who often abandoned them after only a few years. Marks recreates one such home within the gallery: graffiti-tagged walls, discarded furniture, and weathered objects salvaged from the desert are placed in dialogue with a projection of brilliant desert sunsets and immersive sound recordings. The result is a poignant contradictio…

MUSIC TO MY EYES
STUDENT ART PROJECT
Multi-discipline art expression with music, paint, and photography.
Local high school art students were assigned a song, preferably one they were not too familiar with, and were tasked with painting what the song inspired in them.
Songs from genres as different as jazz, hard rock, classical, and from the Great American Song Book, were selected from multiple sources considered as “the greatest songs of all time” and assigned randomly to the artists who signed up for the project.
The students were instructed to listen and ingest the music, to let the song capture the imagination and inspire their art. Students were encouraged to listen to the music on repeat during their creative process.
Creative Class Collective was eager to see how each song inspired the artist’s interpretation of the music.
What we have here is a truly amazing collection of work that far exceeded our expectations. These artists met the challenge and set the bar incredibly high.

In a decaying Victorian hat shop, a reclusive milliner begins to unravel into madness after a series of strange visits—driven by grief, obsession, and the poisoned whispers of his father’s legacy.
The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play written by Chris Levine, who is also featured as The Mad Hatter. Set in a once-thriving Victorian hat shop, the story follows a quiet and eccentric hatter whose life begins to spiral following visits from a grieving old client, a mischievous boy, and a curious young woman named Eliza.
What begins as a strange but tender connection with her quickly fractures as hallucinations, mercury-induced madness, and the weight of his father’s gruesome legacy consume him. With haunting imagery, dark humor, and stylized horror, the play weaves obsession, craftsmanship, and unrequited love into a final act of beauty and brutality that no one will forget.

Free To Sp%@k
Fiber art as protest: three SoCal artists transform fabric, text, and tradition to confront censorship, free speech, and democracy.
(Culver City, CA) Village Well Books & Coffee presents “Free To Sp%@k!” a group exhibition by Southern California fiber artists Kathryn Pellman, Kelly Hartigan Goldstein, and MartyO, who test the tensile strength of free expression when language itself has become a battleground. Timed to coincide with the American Library Association’s annual Banned Books Week (October 4–11, 2025), The artists pose a direct question: What happens to a democracy when the First Amendment is treated as negotiable rather than fundamental?
Each artist responds using their craft not as quiet decoration but as deliberate disruption, embedding contested language directly into their materials. Together, they demonstrate that if voices held no power, efforts to suppress them would not be so relentless.
Moving between hush and outcry within tactile mediums of fiber and paper, these works engage the cont…

Abandoned, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles–based artist Monica Marks, will be on view October 25 through November 21, 2025 at Gallery 825, located at 825 N La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles. An artist talk is scheduled for November 1 at 2 PM.
This immersive installation brings together sculpture, photography, painting, found-object assemblage, and projection to explore the haunting presence and layered human stories embedded in the abandoned homestead cabins of California’s Mojave Desert.
At the heart of the exhibition is a partially reconstructed “Jackrabbit Homestead”—structures originally built under the Small Tract Act of the 1950s and 1960s, which granted land parcels to homesteaders who often abandoned them after only a few years. Marks recreates one such home within the gallery: graffiti-tagged walls, discarded furniture, and weathered objects salvaged from the desert are placed in dialogue with a projection of brilliant desert sunsets and immersive sound recordings. The result is a poignant contradictio…

In a decaying Victorian hat shop, a reclusive milliner begins to unravel into madness after a series of strange visits—driven by grief, obsession, and the poisoned whispers of his father’s legacy.
The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play written by Chris Levine, who is also featured as The Mad Hatter. Set in a once-thriving Victorian hat shop, the story follows a quiet and eccentric hatter whose life begins to spiral following visits from a grieving old client, a mischievous boy, and a curious young woman named Eliza.
What begins as a strange but tender connection with her quickly fractures as hallucinations, mercury-induced madness, and the weight of his father’s gruesome legacy consume him. With haunting imagery, dark humor, and stylized horror, the play weaves obsession, craftsmanship, and unrequited love into a final act of beauty and brutality that no one will forget.

Fiber art as protest: three SoCal artists transform fabric, text, and tradition to confront censorship, free speech, and democracy.
(Culver City, CA) Village Well Books & Coffee presents “Free To Sp%@k!” a group exhibition by Southern California fiber artists Kathryn Pellman, Kelly Hartigan Goldstein, and MartyO, who test the tensile strength of free expression when language itself has become a battleground. Timed to coincide with the American Library Association’s annual Banned Books Week (October 4–11, 2025), The artists pose a direct question: What happens to a democracy when the First Amendment is treated as negotiable rather than fundamental?
Each artist responds using their craft not as quiet decoration but as deliberate disruption, embedding contested language directly into their materials. Together, they demonstrate that if voices held no power, efforts to suppress them would not be so relentless.
Moving between hush and outcry within tactile mediums of fiber and paper, these works engage the cont…

Rodolfo is a struggling poet burning his manuscripts to keep out the winter chill. Mimi is a fellow tenant with big dreams and a deadly illness. A chance meeting has them falling in love, but when you’re at the bottom of Parisian society, every day could be your last.
Puccini’s blockbuster opera returns to our stage starring Janai Brugger as the sweet but suffering Mimi and Oreste Cosimo as the lovestruck Rodolfo, with Gihoon Kim and Erica Petrocelli as the on-again-off-again lovers Marcello and Musetta.
Resident Conductor Lina González-Granados leads Puccini’s transcendent score, awash in lavish Romanticism and gorgeous melodies. Director Brenna Corner helms a timeless production from Herbert Ross that the LA Times calls a “warm, nostalgic evocation of Paris in Puccini’s time.”
Running time: approximately two hours and 30 minutes, including one intermission.
Sung in Italian with English subtitles

In a decaying Victorian hat shop, a reclusive milliner begins to unravel into madness after a series of strange visits—driven by grief, obsession, and the poisoned whispers of his father’s legacy.
The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play written by Chris Levine, who is also featured as The Mad Hatter. Set in a once-thriving Victorian hat shop, the story follows a quiet and eccentric hatter whose life begins to spiral following visits from a grieving old client, a mischievous boy, and a curious young woman named Eliza.
What begins as a strange but tender connection with her quickly fractures as hallucinations, mercury-induced madness, and the weight of his father’s gruesome legacy consume him. With haunting imagery, dark humor, and stylized horror, the play weaves obsession, craftsmanship, and unrequited love into a final act of beauty and brutality that no one will forget.

Free To Sp%@k
Fiber art as protest: three SoCal artists transform fabric, text, and tradition to confront censorship, free speech, and democracy.
(Culver City, CA) Village Well Books & Coffee presents “Free To Sp%@k!” a group exhibition by Southern California fiber artists Kathryn Pellman, Kelly Hartigan Goldstein, and MartyO, who test the tensile strength of free expression when language itself has become a battleground. Timed to coincide with the American Library Association’s annual Banned Books Week (October 4–11, 2025), The artists pose a direct question: What happens to a democracy when the First Amendment is treated as negotiable rather than fundamental?
Each artist responds using their craft not as quiet decoration but as deliberate disruption, embedding contested language directly into their materials. Together, they demonstrate that if voices held no power, efforts to suppress them would not be so relentless.
Moving between hush and outcry within tactile mediums of fiber and paper, these works engage the cont…

The air is filled with the wails of widows and mothers in mourning, but also with the peal of wedding bells as a young girl is married off to a war hero with a wicked past — it’s rumored that his previous wives were killed or buried alive in his castle. Who would give a girl to be the bride of a monster? Oct. 31 thru Nov. 23; Odyssey Theatre, 2055 S. Sepulveda Blvd. West Los Angeles, 90025; $20-$43; (310) 477-2055; OdysseyTheatre.com.

In a decaying Victorian hat shop, a reclusive milliner begins to unravel into madness after a series of strange visits—driven by grief, obsession, and the poisoned whispers of his father’s legacy.
The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play written by Chris Levine, who is also featured as The Mad Hatter. Set in a once-thriving Victorian hat shop, the story follows a quiet and eccentric hatter whose life begins to spiral following visits from a grieving old client, a mischievous boy, and a curious young woman named Eliza.
What begins as a strange but tender connection with her quickly fractures as hallucinations, mercury-induced madness, and the weight of his father’s gruesome legacy consume him. With haunting imagery, dark humor, and stylized horror, the play weaves obsession, craftsmanship, and unrequited love into a final act of beauty and brutality that no one will forget.

Fiber art as protest: three SoCal artists transform fabric, text, and tradition to confront censorship, free speech, and democracy.
(Culver City, CA) Village Well Books & Coffee presents “Free To Sp%@k!” a group exhibition by Southern California fiber artists Kathryn Pellman, Kelly Hartigan Goldstein, and MartyO, who test the tensile strength of free expression when language itself has become a battleground. Timed to coincide with the American Library Association’s annual Banned Books Week (October 4–11, 2025), The artists pose a direct question: What happens to a democracy when the First Amendment is treated as negotiable rather than fundamental?
Each artist responds using their craft not as quiet decoration but as deliberate disruption, embedding contested language directly into their materials. Together, they demonstrate that if voices held no power, efforts to suppress them would not be so relentless.

In a decaying Victorian hat shop, a reclusive milliner begins to unravel into madness after a series of strange visits—driven by grief, obsession, and the poisoned whispers of his father’s legacy.
The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play written by Chris Levine, who is also featured as The Mad Hatter. Set in a once-thriving Victorian hat shop, the story follows a quiet and eccentric hatter whose life begins to spiral following visits from a grieving old client, a mischievous boy, and a curious young woman named Eliza.
What begins as a strange but tender connection with her quickly fractures as hallucinations, mercury-induced madness, and the weight of his father’s gruesome legacy consume him. With haunting imagery, dark humor, and stylized horror, the play weaves obsession, craftsmanship, and unrequited love into a final act of beauty and brutality that no one will forget.
The Last Hat is directed by Megan Ripchik, produced by Erica Tenaglia. Proceeds support the Santa Monica Playhouse Save the Mai…

Fiber art as protest: three SoCal artists transform fabric, text, and tradition to confront censorship, free speech, and democracy.

Timed to coincide with the American Library Association’s annual Banned Books Week (October 4–11, 2025), The artists pose a direct question: What happens to a democracy when the First Amendment is treated as negotiable rather than fundamental?
Each artist responds using their craft not as quiet decoration but as deliberate disruption, embedding contested language directly into their materials. Together, they demonstrate that if voices held no power, efforts to suppress them would not be so relentless.

In a decaying Victorian hat shop, a reclusive milliner begins to unravel into madness after a series of strange visits—driven by grief, obsession, and the poisoned whispers of his father’s legacy.
The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play written by Chris Levine, who is also featured as The Mad Hatter. Set in a once-thriving Victorian hat shop, the story follows a quiet and eccentric hatter whose life begins to spiral following visits from a grieving old client, a mischievous boy, and a curious young woman named Eliza.
What begins as a strange but tender connection with her quickly fractures as hallucinations, mercury-induced madness, and the weight of his father’s gruesome legacy consume him. With haunting imagery, dark humor, and stylized horror, the play weaves obsession, craftsmanship, and unrequited love into a final act of beauty and brutality that no one will forget.

Fiber art as protest: three SoCal artists transform fabric, text, and tradition to confront censorship, free speech, and democracy.
(Culver City, CA) Village Well Books & Coffee presents “Free To Sp%@k!” a group exhibition by Southern California fiber artists Kathryn Pellman, Kelly Hartigan Goldstein, and MartyO, who test the tensile strength of free expression when language itself has become a battleground. Timed to coincide with the American Library Association’s annual Banned Books Week (October 4–11, 2025), The artists pose a direct question: What happens to a democracy when the First Amendment is treated as negotiable rather than fundamental?
Each artist responds using their craft not as quiet decoration but as deliberate disruption, embedding contested language directly into their materials. Together, they demonstrate that if voices held no power, efforts to suppress them would not be so relentless.
Moving between hush and outcry within tactile mediums of fiber and paper, these works engage the cont…

In a decaying Victorian hat shop, a reclusive milliner begins to unravel into madness after a series of strange visits—driven by grief, obsession, and the poisoned whispers of his father’s legacy.
The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play written by Chris Levine, who is also featured as The Mad Hatter. Set in a once-thriving Victorian hat shop, the story follows a quiet and eccentric hatter whose life begins to spiral following visits from a grieving old client, a mischievous boy, and a curious young woman named Eliza.
What begins as a strange but tender connection with her quickly fractures as hallucinations, mercury-induced madness, and the weight of his father’s gruesome legacy consume him. With haunting imagery, dark humor, and stylized horror, the play weaves obsession, craftsmanship, and unrequited love into a final act of beauty and brutality that no one will forget.
The Last Hat is directed by Megan Ripchik, produced by Erica Tenaglia. Proceeds support the Santa Monica Playhouse Save the Mai…
