Philanthropy meets artistry this June 30, when Mel’s Drive-In hosts an art exhibition featuring work from Gibson GuitarTown artist Juliana Martinez. The evening will feature a collection of her tiled, mosiac furniture from 6 – 10 p.m. 
Martinez was commissioned to create two 10-foot-tall art guitars for the public art project Gibson GuitarTown on The Sunset Strip over the last two years. The first, which has since been auctioned off for charity, stood in front of The Standard hotel and celebrated the peace and love movement of the 1960s. The second, titled "There’s Something Happening Here" in honor of iconic band Buffalo Springfield, is boldly displayed at the Mel’s Drive-In entrance. 

The Sunset Strip Music Festival announced today that the fifth annual music fest — taking place on The Sunset Strip Aug. 16-18 — will celebrate the music and legacy of The Doors!
SSMF also announced that Marilyn Manson will headline the outdoor street festival on Aug. 18, which will also feature performances by The Offspring, Steve Aoki, Bad Religion, Black Label Society, Far East Movement, De La Soul, Dead Sara, Das Rascist, The Mowgli’s and more to be announced.
