The LA River is iconic.

Follow its 51 miles.
Endless tributaries of tastes, characters, colors, and sounds.

A river is always moving forward, and while the LA River moves it carries our spirited past and future dreams.

With that vision in mind, pioneering experiential studio 13Exp has brought together a team of more than 40 leading artists from across entertainment in partnership with River LA on the campaign Rio Reveals.

Rio Reveals is more than a series of shows.

Amidst this new COVID landscape, Rio Reveals is a partnership of non-profit (River LA) and a team of immersive artists (13Exp) to reimagine how we build resources together. Rio Reveals simultaneously creates jobs for artists and a sustainable fundraising resource for the future of the river. This is a partnership that has been born out of this moment: creating an opportunity to reimagine not only WHAT we do together, but HOW we do it.

Mikhael Tara Garver (Pop Culture Collaborative's Becoming America Grantee, Sleep No More, Empire Travel Agency) is building a team of leading immersive artists including Ana Maria Alvarez (Contra Tiempo Urban Dance, Doris Duke Award), Anna Lamadrid (IAMA, Pasadena Playhouse), Mary Angelica Molina (Sundance, IFC, Party of Five Reboot,  On Becoming a God in Central Florida), Daniel Penilla (Cornerstone Theater Company, The Common Good Collective); Jonathan Sanford (Teenage Bounty Hunters, Dare Me, Good on Paper); Shannon Scrofano (Berlinale, Uganda National Cultural Center, PICA’s TBA Festival, Getty Villa, REDCAT, Teatro El Público Havana, Prague Quadrennial, Tribeca Film Festival), and Will Pickens (Sound Design for Julie Taymor, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Public Theater).
