Always on the hunt for what is new in NoHo, I found myself at J.E.T. Studios, a multi-faceted art, performance, and casting facility. Judith E, the sassy powerhouse behind J.E.T. Studios, showed me around and gave me some insight on what to expect at this artists' playground.

Being an actress herself, there is no mistaking that Judith understands what an artist needs in a space like this. One of the most exciting and unique offeringsat this location is the virtual casting and performance technology, set up so castings and performances can be enjoyed locally, across the nation, or across the planet via live streaming on the internet or saved to be seen at the viewer's leisure.

Do you know your true colors? Jill Kirsh does! She has been featured in many publications including InStyle Magazine and is known as the go to gal for all things color.  Her system is designed to personalize and fool proof your color selection, arming you with a skill that will enhance your fabulous self!

Whether you are a food truck newbie or seasoned foodie, attending the NoHo Rockin’ Food Truck Festival is an absolute must! This fantastic event has a little something for everyone and it happens every few months right here in our neighborhood.  It is such a great way to spend the day snacking on a wide array of cuisines, shopping some local crafty businesses, and enjoying some eclectic entertainment.

Plus, you shouldn't be surprised if you run into a few of your NoHo friends like I did!

Abundant with fantastic galleries, the NoHo Arts District is a safe haven for artists to create and showcase their work. I rediscovered a way to enjoy our neighborhood by checking out the Figure Drawing from Life opening reception at Gallery 800, located in the historic Lankershim Arts Center. This gallery features personal works of members of the Art Directors Guild and is always open to the public (check out www.Gallery800.com for hours).
