“Exquisite Corpse” Exhibition Opening

The Los Angeles Printmaking Society will be holding the opening reception to their member exhibition “Exquisite Corpse” being displayed at the Printing Museum through September. Exquisite corpse is a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, either by following a rule or by being allowed to see only the end of what the previous person contributed. Each artist is invited to create a part or a complete figure, that will be divided up in 3 15 inch square sections: head, midsection and legs. The curators of the exhibition will then mix and match the different pieces.

WEBINAR: What Every Business Owner Must Know and Do to Avoid a Crippling Ransomware Attack

August 17, 2021 , Online

Any business that thinks they’re immune from the possibility of cyberattacks is wrong. Today every company, regardless of size or industry, is a potential target. What’s worse, cyberattacks such as ransomware attacks are not just crippling—they can be completely devastating. A whopping 60% of small businesses close within six months of a cyberattack.

This webinar, presented by Scott Hagizadegan, CEO of PIASC partner Shield IT Networks plus three guest experts, is meant to help ensure that your business does not become a victim of this type of attack.

Join us to learn:

The key issues and primary root causes of ransomware attacks

What you need to know about the layered approach to cybersecurity
New ways that cybercriminals are breaching companies’ defenses – and next generation options for thwarting them
