Big Sunday happily welcomes you to Our Really Big Community Calendar

We try to include all kinds of volunteering and helping opportunities for all kinds of interests, talents, passions, and ages! As you’ll see, these include volunteering opportunities (one-time and long-term) as well as the chance to support a nonprofit by attending fundraising events. Plus, of course, we include all of Big Sunday’s homegrown events, too! Whoever you are, and whatever you do, there is someone out there who could use your help.

“Intrude” Installation @ FIGat7th
Jun 5 @ 12:00 pm – Jun 5 @ 9:00 pm

Arts Brookfield presents a highly acclaimed public art installation by Australian artist Amanda Parer. The installation, titled Intrude, features seven monumental rabbits constructed of sewn white nylon that have been inflated and internally lit. Two of the seven rabbits were specially commissioned by Arts Brookfield, each scaling over two stories in height.

Rabbits in Parer’s native Australia are an out of control pest first introduced by white settlers in 1777. Their intrusion into the landscape and impact on the country’s endemic species was the initial inspiration for Intrude. Their presence in LA’s urban landscape invites viewers to get up close, cuddle and enjoy while also asking one to consider every species’ larger than life impact on their surroundings.

The seven rabbits of Intrude will be spread across several Brookfield properties on Bunker Hill and at the FIGat7th retail center in downtown Los Angeles from June 5 – June 11.
