This summer, the Barnsdall Art Park on Olive Hill in Los Angeles has been hosting weekly wine tastings.
The proceeds help to fund programs like free weekend art classes for kids. KPCC’s Alex Cohen spoke with Marshall Lewy and Avidan Ross of the Barnsdall Art Park Foundation. They told her about the woman the park is named after – Aline Barnsdall. We hear first from Marshall.
