AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

"They Live" is an open source Art Festival / Bike Ride in DTLA. We are planning having hundreds of participants riding around LA with maps, trying to find temporary artworks in the urban landscape. Some will be hidden, some will be impossible to miss. Special prizes to be had for the Ridazz who find the most.
