Echo Park is not mentioned In a New York Times Sunday Styles piece about Los Angeles toddlers who have significant collections of art hanging on their nursery walls (as in $20,000 worth, in one case). But, never fear, the neighborhood is in fact represented, if silently. Three of the artists named in Ginny Chien's article either live in Echo Park or used to. Monique Prieto and Ingrid Calame live here now, and Tom Knechtel is said to have moved out of the hood. And there could be more, hidden in those studios with their lights burning deep into the night.
