Artwalk the Miracle Mile with LACMA

Take your art “to go” with Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s Muse Artwalk 2011. The event partners museums, galleries, and independent artists to create an inspirational environment within the Miracle Mile community. It is organized by LACMA Muse, a group of art enthusiasts dedicated to promoting the arts and the community.

The following museums will open their doors for free this Saturday, May 11 for the Artwalk:

-       LACMA, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

-       Architecture + Design Museum, 12 to 6 p.m.

-       Global Bazaar at Craft Folk and Art Museum, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

-       Petersen Automotive Museum, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

LACMA will also host a variety of artist projects for the happening, including dance performances, jazz, installation art, readings from Amor Fati LA (an art and literature publication), free snacks and drinks, and a live mural painting.

San Francisco video artist Stanya Kahn will be on hand at 1:30 p.m. to screen and speak about “It’s Cool, I’m Good,” an existentialist and humorous film she created.

A Gallerina’s Guide, an award-winning multimedia dance and installation art show, will be presented at 4, 6, and 8:30 p.m. Check out a preview of the show on YouTube.  RSVP is required, email [email protected] with “A Gallerina’s Guide” in the subject line and the preferred show time and number of guests in the body of the email.

More than 15 art galleries in the neighborhood of LACMA will also be participating in Artwalk 2011, which begins when the museums open and ends when all the galleries close. Do the environment a favor and plan your trip with Metro.
