Two Saturdays ago at the Watts Coffee House, students from Locke High School welcomed guests from all over Los Angeles to the opening of Everyday Extraordinary, an exhibition of their writing and photography produced in conjunction with 826LA and the J. Paul Getty Museum. Nearly one hundred visitors, including Councilman Bernard Parks, congregated for food, conversation, and the chance to view the student work. The response to the exhibit has been overwhelmingly positive; several art aficionados at the opening inquired about purchasing copies of the prints, and Watts Coffee House regulars love what the photographs have added to the atmosphere.

Originally scheduled as a two-week exhibition, Everyday Extraordinary will be open for another week! Friday, May 2, will be the last day to see the photographs. If you haven't already, head down to the Watts Coffee House (map here; phone 323.249.4343) to check everything out.
