The Salty Series: Estate Sale is an interactive and immersive installation and performance curated by filmmaker and multimedia artist Valerie Jackson. Conceived and created by Jackson in collaboration with composer Sebastian Sack and animator Kai Tattersall, “Estate Sale” is a multimedia installation that combines video, music, live performance, photography, and personal memorabilia to create a surreal reconstruction of the artist’s apartment in Los Angeles, immersing the audience in an intimate experience of memory. The installation is open from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m., and audience members are invited to come, explore at their own pace, enjoy a beverage, and immerse themselves in a world of nostalgia, reflection, and discovery. Influenced by her work in the film industry and the creative culture of young filmmakers in Los Angeles, Jackson blends illustration, collage, and photography to explore the blurred lines between fiction and reality in everyday life. “Estate Sale” presents city scenes and characters through a cartoonish lens, using iconic American imagery and accessible materials like acrylic paint, cardboard, and digital photography to evoke familiarity. Collaborating with Kai Tattersall, she incorporated personal photos and textures to build the world of the apartment, while Sebastian Sack’s music, featuring samples and pop references, creates an intimate sound environment. Sack will perform live in the space at 8 p.m., with guests invited to explore the artwork and socialize before and after the performance.

Make 2025 Your Year of Manifestation by Joining Us on New Year's Eve! In Person & Zoom This New Year don't just wish for change—make it happen with a focused mind and a powerful Qi field. Intention setting is like giving a command to the universe, clearly stating what you want to bring into your life. It reflects your focus, clarity, and purpose, ensuring that your thoughts and actions align with your desires. When you set a clear intention, your mind, body, and energy field work in harmony to bring that intention into reality. This alignment ensures that your actions, mindset, and even subconscious programming support your goals. Immerse Yourself in the Wisdom and Energy of a Qigong Master In this powerful session, you’ll set your intention within a carefully cultivated Qi field—an environment rich with vibrant, supportive energy designed to amplify your ability to manifest. Imagine being immersed in this energetic field, where distractions fade and clarity emerges. The Qi field acts as a magnifier for your intention, helping align your thoughts and emotions to bring your desired reality into focus. Whether your goal is to cultivate better health, attract abundance, or enhance relationships, Master Liu’s guidance ensures your intentions are not only clear but also energetically supported. Harness a New Mindset This workshop is not just about thinking positively—it’s about adopting a new mindset and tapping into the profound energetic potential of Qi to co-create the life you envision. Transform your approach to intention-setting and take a step closer to manifesting the life you deserve.
