	You Call That Art? through - May 9th, 2008, LA JOLLA, Calif., The first exhibit, "You Call That Art?" -- a show on everything perceived as being art, or not being art all -- is a collaboration by completely unknown local wannabe artists; Rob Wells, Donald James, and Parker Siglin. The offbeat ambience created in this La Jolla studio/gallery is hard to find on the surrounding streets. As soon as you see the spray-painted limo, you'll know that this is no ordinary place. Just head up the alley and look for the (r)ed carpet and velvet ropes right next to the Asian restaurant's dumpsters. If it smells like yellow curry, you're on the right track. Up the fire escape you will find La Jolla's newest art gallery, Ed. With its alley entrance and front window art designed by the owners' 1 year old daughter, Ed, (who is the namesake to the gallery), it's definitely the new kid on the block -- and maybe soon to be off the block. There will be finger sandwiches and fine wine. (French, of course.)For more information contact: Rebeca L.
