(BEVERLY HILLS, CA; AUGUST 22, 2019) - Visitors are encouraged to experience the final week of BOLD (Beverly Hills Open Later Days) Summer, which will officially end on August 24. As part of this year's annual event, Beverly Hills collaborated with two globally-known artists, Janet Echelman and Banksy-protégée, Mr. Brainwash to showcase their work in the iconic destination. 

Spanning nearly 85 feet in length and suspended above North Santa Monica Boulevard between the Wallis Annenberg Center of Performing Arts and Beverly Gardens Park, Echelman's piece, titled 1.78, transforms each minute with the changing wind and light. Inspired by fishing nets in India, Echelman combines ancient craft with modern technology to create fiber sculptures in vibrant colors. The impressive sculpture will be on display now until September 2. 

Known for his “Life is Beautiful” sculpture that debuted in 2008 on Sunset Boulevard, Mr. Brainwash has since become an international street art phenomenon after the release of 2010's Banksy-directed film, Exit Through the Gift Shop. Mr. Brainwash has created two sculptures which can be found throughout the city: The first, titled, “Beverly Hills is Beautiful,” is located in Beverly Canon Gardens, and the second, titled, “Beverly Hills is Life,” is placed outside of Wells Fargo on Santa Monica Boulevard at Camden Drive. Both works of art will be on display until the end of September. 

On August 24, the BOLD festivities will conclude with “Next Night-The BOLD Finale,” presented by the Next Beverly Hills Committee. The festivities will take place on the 200 block of South Beverly Drive from 6 p.m.-10 p.m. and include live entertainment, dancing, interactive art and a beer and wine garden. 

All events taking place during BOLD Summer are free to attend and open to all ages. Attendees are welcome to join the social conversation on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook by sharing their favorite photos and experiences with the hashtag, #BOLDBH.
