Third Thursdays in Canoga Park: Summer Events

I am including this event from our neighbors in Canoga Park, because their summer art events were one of the influences on our own Reseda Blvd activities. Make sure to check out at least one of their summer events.

Since 2011, the Canoga Park Improvement Association and 11:11 A Creative Collective have produced the Canoga Park Art Walk which brings over 200 artists, artisans, musicians and performers into the streets of Downtown Canoga Park.

The artwalk season begins June 2016 and will be held on June 16th, July 21st and August 18th. Initiated by the Canoga Park Improvement Association, supported by the Canoga Park Neighborhood Council and produced by 11:11 ACC, Third Thirsdays in Canoga Park is the one and only artwalk of its kind in the San Fernando Valley. Creatives from all over the Valley and beyond join in to take over the streets of Downtown Historic Canoga Park.

Over 200 artists and vendors fill booth spaces to show off and sell their artwork and wares, a live music stage hosts local DJs, bands and musicians, street artists, mural artists and graffiti artists paint live for the public and food vendors and food trucks provide the eats for the evening. The businesses of Downtown Canoga Park host various events, art shows and specials and sales within their stores, and live art installations fill the streets.

Third Thursdays in Canoga Park is a family friendly event and a perfect excuse to bring out the kids and pups to enjoy the neighborhood!

We encourage participation, busking, flash mobs, bike rides, derby girls, parades and taking initiative! Please contact us if you're a band or musician who would like to be featured on our live music stage, if you're an artist or vendor who would like a booth space or if you have any ideas you'd like to incorporate into the festivities!

Northridge Metrolink Station Relocation Study Made Available to the Public

Metro’s long-awaited Northridge Metrolink Station Relocation Study was made available to community members at the end of September. The study was based on community input taken last spring at a community meeting, as well as through email and online comments. The study takes no official position, rather it details the various costs, community concerns, and environmental factors that would be involved in either the upgrading of the current station, or in the moving of the current station to the corner of Reseda and Parthenia. Both study alternatives aimed to identify potential opportunities to enhance transit connectivity throughout the community and region. Alternative 1: Station Relocation, relocates the existing Northridge Metrolink Station to the intersection of Reseda Boulevard, Parthenia Street, and the Ventura Line. Alternative 2: Existing Station Enhancements, upgrades the existing Northridge Metrolink Station into a multi-modal transit ...

Sherwood Forest Home Owners Association Works to Make Northridge a Better Place to Live

On January 18th, the Sherwood Forest HOA will hold a stakeholder meeting at the Dearborn Elementary Charter Academy, at which there will be a presentation on the Clean Streets, Clean Starts program, which seeks to find work, counseling and housing for North Valley homeless. Guest speakers will include Don Larson and Laura Rathbone, coordinators of this revolutionary approach to tackling homelessness. Homeless issues are important issues in the community, no less in the well to do and idyllic Sherwood Forest neighborhood. Overnight parking of recreational vehicles and cars has become a daily occurrence in the neighborhood. Other issues, such as large scale development and growing traffic strains are increasingly on the radar of the community and the Sherwood Forest Home Owners association. Homeowners and the SFHOA find the need for advocacy in the community more than ever. This increased advocacy has been reflected in ...

Northridge’s Community Sponsors Support Beautification and Homelessness Projects

Much of the good work that has been done in our neighborhood over that last few years has been because of the many volunteer hours donated free of charge. However, volunteer labor often needs materials, money and expertise to make a project smooth running and successful. Currently, two examples of these projects, the new “Northridge Stampede” mural on the Catalina Paint Building at Gresham and Reseda, and our ongoing “Clean Streets, Clean Starts” homeless project, both rely on the generosity of individuals, local businesses and non-profits. The Northridge Beautification Foundation, a 501.c3 nonprofit, has been able to expand their community service projects with a much-needed infusion of money and expertise. In the case of the “Northridge Stampede” mural, currently underway, the overwhelming generosity of the Northridge Sharkey’s, which donated a sizable percentage of their Labor Day Weekend profits, totaling an amazingly generous $3,148 dollar, ...
