>> My name's Nicola [phonetic] Alvez [phonetic]. I am a curator of creative and community spaces. A busy day for me is going to art studios -- artist studios picking up their work, transporting their work, going to whatever space that I'm curating and hanging the works. So it's a lot of -- it's some labor, which is nice. You know, it's some grunt work. So hanging all that work, labeling the work, creating the biographies of the artists. Definitely connecting to the space, promoting the show, promoting the artists. Because I'm so active in the community, I have those connections built in, so two of the primary partners that I work with is We [phonetic] Labs, and they're a co-working space for our creatives and entrepreneurs. And they have an amazing new building, the Packard that's here in Long Beach. And they have a huge lobby. So curating their lobby and doing exhibitions and shows like we had their opening day. Because it's their second building. So we had their -- like their opening celebration and had, gosh, maybe 150 pieces of artwork. And so that was like a huge, you know, it's a lot. It's about like a week of late nights hanging all the work.
