Los Angeles Art Weekend

This is what happens when you don't have a computer or Internet access for a week. You find out about Los Angeles Art Weekend after it's already started!

This 4-day celebration of the visual arts, with events held all over the city, started yesterday and runs through Sunday. Today's events include the opening of an exhibition of photographs of Soviet cold-war architecture, at an L.A. outpost (or "pop-up storefront") of New York gallery Storefront for Art and Architecture. The new Broad Contemporary Art Museum at LACMA will offer extended hours and free live jazz from 6 to 8 p.m.

There's a nice overview of the whole weekend on the L.A. Times website.

Los Angeles Art Weekend is presented by ForYourArt. You can download their 16-page .pdf map and guide to arts in L.A. by clicking here.
