The party took place from 8:00 p.m. on December 31, 2017, to 1:00 a.m. on New Year’s Day and covered 90 acres in central downtown, hosting more than 50,000 people. The evening included N.Y.E.L.A. signature countdown along with a new digital dance zone that transformed the audiences’ dance moves into larger-than-life images projected onto the side of the County Hall of Records building. A brilliant visual spectacular, this year’s countdown also boasted 3D digital mapping projections that transformed the west-facing facade of City Hall, enveloping the iconic building with a dance party motif along with silhouetted figures that lead the audience in synchronized dance moves.

his winter, corporate flops are showcased when the Museum of Failure comes to Los Angeles. Don’t let the name fool you. The Museum of Failure is a celebration of history’s failed products & services and the lessons learned from them. Exhibited at the A+ D Architecture and Design Museum in the Los Angeles Arts District, the Museum of Failure welcomes visitors to enjoy an experiential journey of failures-past since December 2 and will run until February 04, 2018. The Museum of Failure treats its visitors to a shrine of history’s epic fails by some of the world’s best-known companies. Marketing catastrophe that was Bic for Her? Yup. The two-wheeled, self-balancing transport innovation, Segway? Better believe it. These, along with artifacts spanning from the 17th century right up to the present day, including the frozen beef lasagna by Colgate, demonstrate the types of failures the museum will showcase. Other highlights include the hula chair (just envision it), one of Apple’s few unsuccessful devices, the Newton, and even President Donald Trump’s version of Monopoly from 1989 made the cut. With surprise Instagram moments all around, the museum is a family affair with failures for everyone from nine to 90. First displayed in Sweden, the collection of 100 plus failures was initially conceived by psychologist and innovation researcher, Dr. Samuel West, as part of his research on corporate success and innovation. When he discovered that 80-90% of industries’ projects fail, West felt the untold stories of failures and the lessons within them did not get their deserved attention. “At large, as a society, we are too obsessed with success and underestimate failure,” says West. “I started the Museum of Failure out of frustration -- it’s time we accept failure, learn from it, and truly achieve progress. I am thrilled to bring the hilarious, yet impactful memories of these colossal flops to Los Angeles.” The Museum of Failure will be on exhibit in Los Angeles until February 4, 2018.

ranscending borders & cultures, Karen Be comes from a home where Arabic, French, and English danced, where elders called out in Caribbean accents; her childhood dreams were sung in strings of languages. She’s traveled the globe, and the souvenirs she’s collected dangle from her gypsy jungle sounds like sparkling gems. Karen Be’s songs are inspired by Love, Fire, Beauty, Nature, Life, and Freedom. Live, her sound is richly textured. She becomes percussion through breath, plucked strings and sinking keys. Her treasure chest of instruments, effects pedals, loop stations, and sultry harmonies all bear exotic fruit. The Harvest is sweet. Her influences are vast and varied. Mozart, Chopin, J Dilla, David Lynch, Bjork, Nina Simone, Fairuz, Skip James, Paul Gauguin, Chet Baker, Velvet Underground, Prince, CocoRosie, Charles Baudelaire, Whispering Smith, Avi Kiriaty, and Flying Lotus, amongst many others. Karen Be has played at venues all over the globe, such as Fete de la Musique (Beirut), Ambrosia Lounge (Maui), Mondialo (Paris. Karen Be now brings her unique brand of jungle soul to the UK, already warming crowds at Favela chic, Gramophone, Troy Bar, and the Haggerston, to name a few. She remembers her first time in Downtown LA was at her pop up shop, Haru-HaBebe, two years ago at the BOLD Gallery across from the Ace Hotel. It was so magical for her to be here for a week surrounded by her art. She loves DTLA’s diversity of people & architecture. She finds it inspiring and soul filling, full of amazing human stories. She would be inspired to direct a movie about it with David Lynch or write a book like James Joyce Ulysses but ‘Juicer.’ She enjoyed the galleries, eating Oysters at the Watergrill and wonder what happened to the affordable artist warehouses from not so long ago. A Downtown lover that we sincerely want you to discover through her spectrum of talents.

BACKYAR BOWLS

ackyard Bowls is a revolutionary eatery specializing in acai bowls, hot porridges, smoothies, and much more. We provide a healthy, delicious, and fast meal option for the people of our community while striving to minimize our global impact and promoting a more conscientious form of business in general. When you choose to dine at BYB, you will leave feeling ready to go outside and play, as opposed to the all too familiar feeling of being prepared to go home and take a nap. And you will be at ease, knowing that your decision not only was a personally healthful one but one that cast a vote for a better world at large. And as a bonus, it will have been a whole heap of fun to eat. When Backyard Bowls opened their doors in downtown Santa Barbara in 2008, they were quite literally the first of their kind. Having developed a love for the Acai Bowl during a stint living in Hawaii, founders Pete and Dan combined that passion with their appreciation for quality food in general, their affinity for living an active, healthy lifestyle, and their understanding of the environmental impacts of our food choices. What resulted was an entrepreneurial seizure that birthed an entirely new genre of restaurant, and ultimately a delightful alternative for breakfast or lunch. At BYB we work to maintain a company culture that is an authentic representation of our values and our vision for the world in which we want to live. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of caring. We genuinely care about the integrity of the foods we serve. We care about the merits of organic, sustainable, and locally produced foods. We care about preparing food that makes you feel good, and food that we believe to be beneficial to your body. We care about our employees, our community, and the preservation of our environment. We care about a whole slew of things, but possibly most of all we care about serving the best damn bowls in the world and providing our customers with a truly unforgettable experience.

his past November, I was lucky enough to meet with around 350 attendees from over 50 countries around the world in Montego Bay, Jamaica to experience a life-changing invite-only transformational gathering, A-Fest by the disruptive educational platform Mindvalley. The event focused on the theme of Enhanced States of Consciousness and brought some of the most admired and influential consciousness experts in the world to show guests how to unlock peak performance through technology, neuro-training, meditative practices and altered states. One standout moment from the event included hundreds of guests taking an ice bath at the venue with the legendary Wim Hof, which Mindvalley / A-Fest founder Vishen Lakhiani called “The greatest moment from across any Mindvalley produced the event.” This included an appearance by Devon Harris, the team captain of the famed original Jamaican Bobsled team. In a move that underscores the objectivity central to Midvalley’s success, the stage was graced by best selling author of Stealing Fire and unabashed materialist Stephen Kotler just moments before Gelong Thubten, a Buddhist Monk sharing mindfulness and meditation techniques. Attendees also got the chance to learn from respected teachers like Marisa Peer, Lisa Nichols, Jon and Missy Butcher, Vishen Lakhiani, and more to ensure Mindvalley’s online learning platform was well-represented. A-Fest guests also got the chance to visit a Rastafarian community to learn the local arts and culture scene, rode catamarans on the sea, and had a closing ceremony at Good Hope Great House, a historical property of beauty and magnificence. Other highlights included costume parties where attendees got the chance to dress up in their unique ways and connect with fellow guests. Mindvalley is a learning experience company that publishes ideas and teachings by the best authors in personal growth, health and fitness, spirituality, productivity, mindfulness and more – serving three million students, subscribers and followers worldwide.

For the wannabe spiritual mind that I am, it was the perfect experience to discover more about my potential and the potential of others around the world. Mixing learning spiritual meanings with fantastic travel and parties is the perfect combination to blow your mind. The next A-Fest is set to take place in Sardinia, Italy from May 30 - June 4, 2018. With a theme on longevity, it’s no coincidence that the event is held in a “Blue Zone” (An area known for its abnormally high average age of living).

Additionally, the second edition of Mindvalley U will take place in Tallinn, Estonia from June 28th – July 22nd, 2018, which will bring Mindvalley speakers together with members of the community to experience a unique educational event for almost a month.

razilian artist Melissa Meier is internationally recognized for her evocative 3-Dimensional Installations, Found-Object Sculptures, Collages, and Photography. In her current series “SKINS,” Meier has created sculptural clothing hybrids, utilizing natural materials such as leaves, stones, fur, scales, sticks, feathers, and shells. Inspired by Brazilian Carnival and Native American skin-walkers, her wearable constructions blend female empowerment with a self-created mythology, developed around the idea of ancient cultures of female warriors, exemplifying strength, beauty and unity of life lived in harmony with the elements. Her warrior women are breathtakingly sensual while radiating a searing combination of purity and power. Meier states, “At first I was inspired by the legends of indigenous people and how they used the skins of animals to transform into them, creating a bridge between the human and animal worlds. But as my work matured, I became equally interested in the future of fashion as an extreme form of kinetic sculpture.” The costumes are developed into moveable, wearable sculptures that are brought to Life as performance artworks, serve as independent sculptures and in their final documented form as limited edition Archival Fine Art Photographs. The work creates a bridge to the present and allows us to connect with and find ourselves reflected in her images of hidden, treasured cultures, heroines and spirit guides, imagined and real. Seven of Meier’s mythology series photographs, as well as selected sculpture/constructions, will be on view in her solo exhibit “SKINS” at GDCA Gallery January 6th – 31st, 2018. For more information, please contact the gallery at (323) 309-2875 or via email at Petra@GDCAgallery. com.

DTLA Q3 REPORT

ational brands and creative/tech companies continue to flow into Downtown LA according to Downtown Center BID 20-17 Q3 Market Report. The announcements Include Adidas and Vans and the Relocations of Architect Jerde Partnership from Venice, Bullitt Studios from West Hollywood, and Advertising Tech Firm Gimbal from Santa Monica. The Los Angeles Downtown Center Business Improvement District (DCBID) released its 2017 Q3 Market Report today, revealing the increasing drawing power of DTLA, as a growing influx of leading brands and corporations from around the city make their home in DTLA, announced Nick Griffin, Vice President of Economic Development for the DCBID. In the third quarter alone, long time Venice based architecture firm, Jerde Partnership, along with Bullitt Studios from West Hollywood, and advertising tech firm Gimbal from Santa Monica, have all selected DTLA as their future home. Joining them are Adidas and Vans who announced new DTLA office and retail locations respectively, while Nordstrom Rack, H&M’s fashion brand COS, and Sweetgreen restaurant all celebrated Q3 openings. One of the big draws for these businesses has been DTLA’s explosive residential population that now sits at approximately 65,000 and shows no sign of slowing. In the third quarter, DTLA saw the delivery of 1,380 apartments bringing the 2017 total to more than 2,700, setting a new annual record. Despite the additional space, rental rates continue to hold steady, even increasing a couple of percentage points. According to Griffin, “When you look at the DTLA skyline, and you see all these construction cranes, second only to Seattle, you naturally wonder how you are going to fill all those new units. But time and time again, driven by the dynamic appeal of DTLA and its eclectic mix of dining, shopping, entertainment, and living opportunities – businesses, retailers, and residents continue to come and demand even more.” “As the Renaissance charges towards its third decade, DTLA is indisputably the heart of Los Angeles – the market that drives fashion, dining, entertainment, and more” he added. Please have a look at the full DCBID Q3 2017 Market Report in the next pages, or view it at https://goo.gl/Xiu8QK.

Q3 2017 MARKET REPORT

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Downtown LA continued on its dynamic growth trajectory in Q3, despite a relatively slow quarter for the greater LA area. Leading the way was residential with another 1,380 rental units coming to market.

RESIDENTIAL

With 5 new projects opening in Q3 alone, 2017 has already set a new record with over 2,700 new units delivered this year. Nevertheless, demand kept pace, with rents and occupancy rates holding steady from quarter to quarter.

OFFICE

In the Financial District, the Wilshire Grand Center added Metrolink to its roster of tenants, bringing the property to 40% leased. Meanwhile, the creative migration to Downtown continued with Adidas announcing a new marketing headquarters, tech firm Gimbal relocating from Santa Monica, both to ROW DTLA, Bullitt Studios moving from West Hollywood to City Market South in the Fashion District, and architecture firm Jerde leaving Venice for the historic CalEdison on Bunker Hill.

RETAIL

The quarter was also highlighted by the opening of two flagship fashion boutiques: Nordstrom Rack at FigAt7th, and COS in the historic Olympic Theater off Broadway. Broadway also prepared to welcome another national footwear chain with news that Vans signed a full floor lease at the Singer Sewing Building. On the food front, Sweetgreen, the national chain of healthy fast-casual restaurants opened the first of several planned Downtown locations at The CalEdison.

HOSPITALITY

Construction began on The Hoxton Hotel at 11th and Broadway across from the almost completed LA Proper. In the Arts District, construction also began on Soho House, a private social club for creatives, with 48 hotel rooms and a range of high-end amenities that will be located just a block from the new headquarters of Warner Music Group.
