ART IN THE ARTHOUSE presents: DANIELA SCHWEITZER: THE JOYFUL DANCE TO WATER in Santa Monica
ART IN THE ARTHOUSE invites you to view our newest exhibit in Santa Monica, DANIELA SCHWEITZER: THE JOYFUL DANCE TO WATER. All works are for sale and on display till August 29, 2018. Please visit our galleries on both floors at the Monica Film Center next time you come for a movie. Or just stop by; movie tickets are not required to view our art.
About the exhibit
DANIELA SCHWEITZER is an artist, a painter, deeply connected to movement, light and the color of water. She captures moments and manifestations of aquatic colors, oceanic gatherings, and the compositional arc of a young dancer’s arms. With a nod to the Bay Area figurative movement and artists David Park and Richard Diebenkorn, Schweitzer’s work exudes a fluid harmonious quality, a balance of color and pictorial composition.
Additionally, her work exhibits a keen understanding of atmosphere, controlling mood and expressing locational flavor through juxtaposition of vibrant color. Schweitzer’s paintings begin with a photograph to create emotional impact and story. Schweitzer reflects, “I select my scenes … because they possess a simple, beautiful, and usually colorful human gesture that is energetic, calm, or harmonic. The balance and contrast between light and shadows, values and temperatures, and my loose and contrasting brushstrokes and lines all come together during the painting process to create my own style or point of view.”
Much of her oeuvre is personal. The painting Dancer, for instance, is a deftly rendered work of admiration, an observant balletic posturing of the artist’s daughter.
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Daniela is a highly respected pediatrician, currently residing in Los Angeles. She studied at the Atelier Clásico de Dibujo y Pintura, Buenos Aires, Academia Central Mendía and earned her medical degree at the Buenos Aires School of Medicine, University of Buenos Aires.
Above all, Daniela Schweitzer’s work celebrates a genuine joie de vivre.

LAEMMLE LIVE presents Los Angeles Youth Orchestra Chamber Players June 3
Join us on June 3 as LAEMMLE LIVE proudly presents chamber players from The Los Angeles Youth Orchestra at the Monica Film Center. LAYO is comprised of pre-college age musicians from greater Los Angeles who rehearse and perform classical symphonic masterworks and contemporary music. Collective talent, intellectual curiosity, and discipline are key to student performances of programs that model professional orchestras, more than conventional youth orchestras.
Each season, the Los Angeles Youth Orchestra serves over 120 student musicians, ages 8-18, who hail from 60 different public and private schools. In addition to studying privately and attending weekly orchestra rehearsals, many of these students give back to their communities by teaching music to younger students, volunteering at hospitals, writing columns for their school and local newspapers, and excelling in their academic and athletic pursuits. LAYO rehearses at the Encino Community Center on Sunday afternoons and regularly performs at UCLA Schoenberg Hall and Ambassador Auditorium. LAYO has also appeared at Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, and Carnegie Hall. The orchestra toured internationally to Vienna and Prague in 2015 and in June 2017, completed a nine-day performance tour to Italy, presenting concerts at the Arvedi Auditorium in Cremona; Terme Tettuccio in Montecatini; and Sant’Agnese in Agone in Rome. Many of the orchestra’s alumni have gone on to prestigious universities including Juilliard, Cornell, Berklee College of Music, UCLA, USC, Harvard and New England Conservatory. For more information regarding auditions and concerts, visit our website at www.losangelesyouthorchestra.org.
