A Willa Dock Memorial Fund was set up to collect donations for artistic grants in Willa’s honor. Funds will sponsor a local, emerging artist to use Willa’s Coffee hut as a canvas. Victoria Gokun (now the hut manager) initially painted the hut in July of 2017, and it was always Willa’s vision to have the building repainted periodically. We are aiming for a new artist to paint the hut this summer, 2018.
We hope to honor Willa’s vision by selecting an artist that can provide a unique and surprising image for residents passing by the coffee shop. Descriptors that come to mind when thinking of Willa and her coffee hut: eclectic, whimsical, fun, playful, abstract, out-of-the-norm.
The Memorial Fund seeks an emerging young artist who resides in Los Angeles County looking to broaden their exposure.
Proposals are due July 17, 2018. More information and to apply to the call:
