Event co-sponsored by the City of West Hollywood and the City of West Hollywood’s Russian speaking Advisory Board.  “WeHo Mishka” Festival is an important event in the life of the Russian-speaking community, the entire City of West Hollywood, and the community at large. The cultural and creative identity of the Russian-speaking community is embodied in its visual arts, history, and language. The cultural well-being is derived from sharing its values, beliefs, identity, and self-expression with one another and the Southern California community. Our Russian-speaking community represents at least 15% of our city’s population and they are an integral factor in our business and economic growth. Our goal is to promote dialogue, understanding and appreciation between the global citizens of West Hollywood, greater Los Angeles and abroad, as well as to showcase the contribution of the Russian-speaking community into the life of the City and our Country. This year, many events will be presenting and exploring many aspects of arts and culture brought to this country from various regions of the former Soviet Union. We are specifically seeking artists, performers, and proposals that highlight the cultural heritage, history, and culture of so many ethnic groups from the former Soviet Union residing in West Hollywood and Los Angeles area.
