28 May MTP Vendors Contribute to the GCT 25 Silent Auction
This Saturday, May 31, we are celebrating Greenway Court Theatre’s 25 years of being a home to diverse creatives from around the world with a Morning Tea Event. (Tickets are now sold out, but you can learn more about the event here.)
As part of our effort to raise special funds to ensure GCT continues to be a LA institution for generations to come, we will also be holding a silent auction featuring art, experiences, and treasures donated by our amazing Melrose Trading Post vendors!
Learn more about the small business owners and artists who contributed to this year’s auction:
Karlos and Patrick with one of the Melrose-themed artworks up for grabs!
Artist Karlos Marquez is a Los Angeles Original Graffiti Artist who now creates his own “grafstract” paintings and sets up his signature gallery walls in the midst of the Melrose Trading Post. His work blends the feel of LA’s graffiti and street art with abstract and contemporary stylings. Karlos has contributed a couple of beautiful custom pieces inspired by Melrose Avenue to the auction.

Jesse and Michelle of JM Film Resins
JM Film Resins capture literal pieces of cinema history. By preserving strips of film from your favorite movies in hardy blocks of resin, they create objects you can admire and display in your home. Event attendees can bid on a 1952 Looney Tunes resin featuring Tweety Bird!

Jennis and Fareed of Melrose Mixology have also contributed to this year’s auction. Up for grabs are stays at their beautiful rental homes in Palm Springs and Joshua Tree!
