MAFA IS READY FOR A SUMMER OF ART
Monrovia Association of Fine Arts (MAFA) will be bringing talented, well-known
Monrovia and Southern California artists to the streets and exhibition venues of
Monrovia this summer beginning June 29 with the first of the city’s traditional Monrovia
Art Walks on Myrtle Avenue. A variety of creative MAFA artists will be on hand at
these events June 29, July 27, and August 24 to showcase and sell their work, including
paintings, pen and ink drawings, jewelry, photography, and woodworking. Art Walk
begins promptly at 6 pm.
Ongoing art exhibitions will continue throughout the summer on a rotating basis at
Artists Alley at the Monrovia Community Center, as well as the Monrovia Historical
Museum, Grey & Cash Coffee Shop and starting soon, Old Town Pizza. The displays
change regularly, so stop in to see what's new.
Also in the works is a new event called ART NIGHT, a once-a-month artist exhibit
and sale at Grey & Cash and Old Town Pizza. ART NIGHT will take place the second
Saturday of the month from 6 - 9 pm, starting August 9 at Grey & Cash. The event will
alternate between Grey & Cash, 425 S. Myrtle Ave (August 9, October 11, December 13)
and Old Town Pizza, 338 S. Myrtle Ave. 9 (September 13, November 8, January 3, 2025).
"We're excited to bring visual arts to the Monrovia area by continuing with traditional
events and introducing new ones," said MAFA president Anthony Fellow.
Since its inception in the 1950’s, the Monrovia Association of Fine Arts has been a
Monrovia tradition whose continuing mission has been to cultivate local artistic talent
through exhibitions, social and professional get-togethers and classes taught by creative
professionals. It is a mission that MAFA carries on to this day.

Understanding the importance of Benign
Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is crucial for
several reasons:
1. **Symptoms:** BPH can significantly
impact a man's quality of life by causing
bothersome urinary symptoms that can
affect daily activities and sleep. Recognizing
these symptoms and seeking timely medical
attention is important for managing the
condition effectively.
2. **Diagnosis:** Proper diagnosis of BPH
involves a medical history assessment, physical
examination, and possibly additional tests
such as a digital rectal exam, prostate-specific
antigen (PSA) test, and imaging studies.
Accurate diag-nosis is essential to differentiate
BPH from other prostate conditions, including
prostate cancer.
3. **Treatment:** Several treatment options
are available for managing BPH, ranging from
lifestyle modifications and medications to
minimally invasive procedures and surgery.
The choice of treatment depends on the
severity of symp-toms, the size of the prostate,
and the patient's overall health. Effective
management of BPH can improve symptoms,
reduce complications, and enhance quality of
life.
4. **Complications:** Untreated BPH can lead
to complications such as urinary retention,
urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and
kidney damage. By addressing BPH promptly,
these complications can be avoided or
minimized.
5. **Awareness:** Increasing awareness
about BPH and its symptoms is essential for
promoting early detection and appropriate
management. Men should be educated about
the condition, encouraged to seek medical
advice if they experience urinary symptoms,
and undergo regular prostate health screenings
as recommended by healthcare pro-viders.
In conclusion, understanding the symptoms,
diagnosis, and treatment options for BPH
is essential for promoting men's health and
well-being. Timely intervention and effective
management can help men maintain a good
quality of life despite the challenges posed by
this common prostate condition.
