Step back in time with photography by Ave Pildas as he takes you through the glitz and glamour (and the not-so-glamorous) that was the epitome of old Hollywood. Look through snapshots of the Hollywood Walk of Fame and see Los Angeles from the perspective of the eccentric people that have made the city what it is today. As Pildas says, “At that time, people were saying the country was tilted to the West and all the crazies rolled towards California. They stopped just short of the ocean and landed in Hollywood.”

Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE): 6522 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028
