Permit Expediting:
For this temporary outdoor mural exhibition, we collaborated with Art At The Rendon and SO|DA Architecture in the Downtown Los Angeles Arts District. The project involved utilizing a historically significant building, previously home to the Farmers and Merchants National Bank, which is slated for future restoration and structural retrofitting to be converted into a restaurant. Our role involved managing the logistics and permitting required for the temporary mural exhibition, ensuring compliance with local regulations and facilitating a seamless installation.
