Back when you were 3’2” you made epic castles in your living room.  Blankets were walls.  Pillows were lavish pieces of furniture.  Broom handles were massive columns, preventing your kingdom from collapsing.

BUT YOU GREW UP.

Which means cARTel: Collaborative Arts LA is here to bring back the magic.

December 8th at the Angel City Brewery in downtown Los Angeles, FORT brings together 10 of the best local artists to build unique interactive playgrounds all over again. This massive art party, held during December’s DTLA Art Walk, will feature food, live music, giveaways, interactive art, $5 craft beers, vendors, the ultimate interactive pillow playground, where attendees will be able to create their own forts and all the fun we can cram into this 25,000 foot warehouse.

Featuring a special DJ set by GOJ!RA, one half of DJ Duo Market Price which blew up the music blogs earlier this September with Mark the Throne, a concept album completely remixing the most recent works of Jay-Z and Kanye. GOJ!RA spins all over LA and has performed alongside such artists as Childish Gambino, Major Lazer, Ying Yang Twins, Dillon Frances, Wale, and many more.

And the bestest, bestest part is this: WE’VE PARTNERED WITH SCHOOLS ON WHEELS in order to generate support for the next generation of Fort makers.

School on Wheels’ mission is to enhance educational opportunities for homeless children from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Take getting to be a kid again to the next level by digging up some childhood school supplies and donating to this great cause. We highly encourage bringing anything on this wishlist: http://www.schoolonwheels.org/donate/student-wish-list. A portion of our proceeds will also be donated to this important cause.
