Pacific Standard Time free-for-all

March 29, 2012

Ed Ruscha, Standard Station, Amarillo, Texas 1963.

It’s the eleventh hour for Pacific Standard Time, the Getty initiative that celebrates the Los Angeles art scene from 1945-1980. If you want a last look, or even a first look, you’re in luck—many museums that participated in PST are having a Free Admission Day with special programming to give the event a proper sendoff.

The following museums will waive admission fees on March 31:

American Museum of Ceramic Art
Eames House Foundation (reservations required)
The J. Paul Getty Museum (parking is $15)
The Grammy Museum
Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Mingei International Museum
ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives (West Adams and West Hollywood)
Pacific Asia Museum
Palm Springs Art Museum
Pasadena Museum of California Art
Pomona College Museum of Art
Santa Barbara Museum of Art

These museums are celebrating the send-off of PST, and are always free:

Art, Design & Architecture Museum, University of California, Santa Barbara
California African American Museum
Chinese American Museum (admission is donation-based)
Fisher Museum of Art, University of Southern California
Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND)
Scripps College, Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery

And if you don’t get there by March 31, don’t despair—more than a dozen of the PST exhibitions, including LACMA’s groundbreaking look at California design, will be continuing through April, and even into June in a few cases. For a list of those PST “after-hours” options, click here.
