Happy HoliDAZE Los Angeles! Around this time of year, it is typical for many people to get caught up and jaded in a whirlwind of family, friends, traveling and finding the best deal for a new TV that's probably too big for the room it will be placed in. Among these obligations, essenceLA would like to take the time to mention some opportunities to turn some of your undivided attention to artists that are giving back to their communities. Check them out below and learn more about how to get involved in their efforts to make the holidays enjoyable for those who do not have the means to purchase that new 52" flatscreen or one of those laziness inspired yet weirdly popular not so hovering boards. We also have included some art events that you could and should attend this month.
