=**Project Overview**= > > Additionally, //smARTphone// booths will activate the immediate space by curating mini-exhibitions of featured artists on-site! These phones will become cultural identifiers similar to the //Mariachi Plaza// in Boyle Heights and the //Gate of Filial Piety// into Chinatown. The increased exposure of the Leimert Park and Crenshaw communities' art scenes will stimulate business for merchants and artists, provide activities for the community, and promote cultural awareness and discussion. > =Related Links=
 * //smARTphone//addresses the critical need to promote and support local businesses, artists, and events from Leimert Park and the Crenshaw Corridor by re-purposing public pay-phones. The phones will be turned into portals that give the community, visitors, tourists, and everyone in-between, access to:
 * Local artists, galleries and studios
 * Information about renowned artists who have lived and worked in Leimert Park
 * Visual and performing arts events
 * Local businesses
